I kind of like this idea, but...
Looking at FB1, the total number of ships that could use the roll to any
benefit with this restriction are:
ESU: None
FSE: San Miguel, Suffren, Milan, Jerez,Ypres (1XC2 on each)
NSL: None
NAC: Tacoma, Ticonderoga, Huron, Vandenburg (1XC2 on each)

So it becomes useful for pretty much custom ships only.

I'd rather make the cost 4 Thrust and say ships can't turn  while
corckscrewing.
