{...SNIP Vector Options...}

Lots of people are commenting on future ship redesigns to reflect the reality
of vector movement (no point to multiple arc weapons).  Would just like to add
(as I primarily play cinematic) that redesigning as suggested would break
cinematic play.  If we are going to make everything during the late KV wars
single arc (to reflect vector rotation realities) then each ship really should
have two weapons readouts ... its KV all weapons FA listing and a cinematic
multiple arc listing.

I do like the comment somebody made that if it takes 1 thrust to rotate you, it
really should take 1 thrust to stop you, therefore leave the current vector
rotation rules in place but make a single rotation cost 2 thrust, not 1.

Castling: It has been brought up that castling (to steal a SFB Tourney tactic)
is quite common in Cinematic play and they fear this may creep into vector
play.  My playgroup always hated this and we just made a house rule that all
ships must always have a min velocity of 1.  Not realistic but in space (as we
have ZERO hit modifiers based on speed) there really is NO point to not
castling in a defense situation as you can always bear best weapons and every
turn to boot.

Large ships not being as maneuverability: While this makes sense in cinematic
play in vector play a ships maneuverability should only be limited by its
thrust.  Mass really isn't a limiter in space on the scales we are talking
about here.
