Sorry that a cinematic devotee pipes in, but the example is pretty much
moot in my estimation. I realize that some rationalizations have it that
the rotational time is insignificant in the turn, but I always thought the
numbers used were pretty arbitrary.

In fact, since vector has a ship's 'final' orientation in each turn, I
would put it to you that the rotational time IS significant, and therefore,
the 'lost' movement points have nothing to do with the size of any of your
thrusters, but the lessened slice of time devoted to your main thrusters
pointed in one direction.

However, it is silly, and I will have nothing to do with it.
