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?
