Well, tactical maneuvering is a little different in vector than
in cinematic, but now that I'm a Cinematic Expert...(having
played, um, four games now?)...Cinematic looks as if it should be
amenable to fighter-style maneuvering for the ships.  This
assumes fairly high speeds--ie Oerjan-level--so your flight speed
is significant in comparison to your weapons range.  The
difficulty I keep tripping over in designing maneuvers (more
accurately, importing maneuvers from fighter combat) is that ship
weapons can have a much wider arc than fighter guns, and
maneuvering (eg crossing right-to-left) doesn't make you any
harder to hit than just sitting still (assuming you're in arc).
