Sorry, amend my above sentence to "I've seen a target moving at less
than speed 8 in cinematic movement only once the past year, and that
was a space station". Though, to tell the truth, I can't recall flying
that slow in Vector either :-/

My table is 120 * 80 cm, so for you inch-measurers it corresponds to
10' * 6'8" or somewhat larger than a table tennis table. The only units
in danger of leaving the table are those with thrust 3 or less, and
even they can fly at up to 20 without serious danger. I also don't
subscribe to the "rim of the universe" theory; if it is possible to use
a floating table to keep all units in the fight, we do so.

Yes, size matters a lot, if it's the gaming area we're talking about.
I'm able to maneuver my forces for 2-3 turns before reaching weapon
range :-/
