Now, in vector, what's the advantage to a high (20+)
starting speed?  I'm a bit lost.  By my reckoning,
that would lead to a single pass with exchange of
fire, and then a dozen turns maneuvering around to
slow down enough to make another pass.	In vector I
know you will be no more than (2/4/6/8/whatever your
thrust is) from a point determined by your velocity,
so you're almost guaranteed to be in the arc, and for
at least some of my SLMs to hit.  What's the point of
zipping around like that?
