Nuh-uh! Not if we develop Passing Fire rules. :-)

One of the real problems with vector movement is that anything other  
than "1 thrust (or less) for any rotation" is the most realistic (as  
far as it goes) for a space game. Limiting 1 thrust per facing or two  
facings is pure game engineering only to balance things - and each  
solution is still not far less than 100% friendly to cinematic ship  
design. Vector games are intrinsically different than cinematic  
games, and thus vector ships *should* be intrinsically different than  
cinematic. I don't like to use most FB ships in vector games (Except  
for the NAC furious - which I hate in Cinematic), but would be pretty  
happy with the KV.
