RE: [GenCon] Kra'Vak AAR

Fleet Book 1 page 3 (Vector Movement):
"Rotation of a ship around its axis requires much less power than
actually
changing its vector. When the thrusters are used to rotate a ship onto a
new
heading, ONE manoeuvre point from the thrusters allows the ship to be
rotated by any desired number of facing points."

I was under the impression that rotational movement was limited to half
max
availible thrust anyway.  Have I misread the rules?
