Pursuit Plotting (first swipe at rules):
  1) This is only allowed if you are in the target's rear arc and the 
target is in your forward arc.
  2) You must commit ALL your movement points to this maneuver.
  3) You must write that you are using pursuit plotting in the movement 
orders
  4) You must have a thrust of 6 to use Pursuit Plotting.
  5) Any points not used by your target are considered to have been
spent 
in "dodging"
  6) Subtract the "dodging" points from your thrust rating to get the 
target number.
    6a) Roll 1 d6
    6b) If the result is greater than or equal to the target number, you

may move after the target moves.
    6c) If the result is less than the target number, you make a 2 point

turn at your current velocity +2 (target chooses port or starboard).
