The FASA game did have three movement phases in each turn, each 
movement phase was followed by a shooting phase. Most weapons could 
only fire once per turn. 

It did have the oddity that at the start of each firing phase the 
players placed a counter marked 'fire' or 'no fire' face down next to 
the ships. These were then all turned over. Ships with 'fire' 
counters could then fire at any target. Bit of an odd half way house. 

I can't remember whether fire and damage within a phase were resolved 
simultaneously or in some sort of initiative order. I think it was 
probably initiative order.
