fighters are
something we lack at the moment. <

How about rules for gravity wells? The BFG stuff in the latest WD, 
including a replay, seems to indicate that slingshot manoeuvres are not 
only possible but important. And, unless my memory is totally shot 
(quite
possible; it's exam-writing time and my brain is frazzled), I  don't
remember
FT including that sort of thing -- orbits, yes, but not  slingshots and
the like
(if it's been there all the time and I've  forgotten it, sorry, Jon).

An observation: the map/table for the BFG replay has a fair amount of 
"terrain" on it -- an asteroid field, two gas clouds (or something 
similar) and
a planet and its moon. Crowded, huh?

No slingshots as such, but you can turn faster in a gravity well if you
wish.
Most of these ships turn worse than a thing that doesn't turn very well
at all,
and they need all the help they can get.
