It's not hard to produce a "real vector" system for FT. My assumptions
were:

(1) Ignore facing change time. Turns are probably around 5-15 minutes
long anyway. It's too much effort.

(2) Ignore the third dimension. It looks pretty but it doesn't add all
that much to the game.

What's left is the continuous-thrust element. Not a problem. You do need
two markers per ship to work out its movement, but you only need to
leave one of them on the table between movement phases.
