D - with various fleets at GZG-ECC's, in various scenarios.  However,
this is a preference thing, as opposed to any sort of balance issue.
(However, I've never fought / fought as Kra'Vak, where arc limitations
are so key to making the race balanced.)

C - Somebody referred to this as 'Slugs in Space', but that's exactly the
feel of the B5 Universe, so, I enjoy it here, especially when you have
the White Stars dancing in and out and around the slow dodgy Earth Omega
Destroyers.  (8-)

> 3) 1 thrust point allows rotation by up to 2 course points (60 degrees).

A - Sounds like a good compromise, if there was some way to cost it into
the FT system.  In some sense, you would be developing two separate games:
one where everything moves cinematically, and one where some stuff moves
vector slow, some stuff moves vector fast, and some stuff moves cinematically.

And this will be my one substansive FT email for 2006.  (8-)
