also makes it easier for ships to change course rather than just change
facing."

I *like* that...

I like that enough I'm going to try it next time I play!

Sorry about that, I'm not quite sure why my email went out in HTML...

"But that doesn't have any effect whatsoever on the move/fire issues Indy 
brought up - with your revised turn sequence ships are still just as able 
to fly right through each others' fire arcs yet end the move being unable 
to shoot at each other, and they can still spend almost all the turn facing 
away from their targets but are still able to shoot at full effect as long 
as they end the move facing the right direction.

As far as I can see the only real effect of your revised turn sequence 
seems to be that SM salvoes and Plasma Bolts will always land in exactly 
the right position to hit their intended targets, leaving no chance at all 
to outmanoeuvre them... :-("

Your points, as always, are excellent - and it was a very off-the-top-of-my
head suggestion.

Has anyone just tried allowing ships to fire whenever they like? Marking
ships that have fired isn't that onerous even in a large fleet - or how
about some sort of "overwatch" ability?

Ok, better question - has anyone tried it and actually have any stats or
metrics?
