Eek. I don't wanna be in a 'Fury which does that, thanks.  ;-)

Now diagnolly we can do, but why use the main thrusters when the side
thrusters will do the job for you? Diagnol has been shown (albeit ever
so briefly, and you *could* interpret it as a 'swoop' since it happens
so
fast and you don't get to see full follow-through - at least in the ep
I'm thinking of at the moment [signs&portents]) but uses the side
thrusters.

I'll have to go back at some point here and rigorously rewatch 'Severed
Dreams' again to check their stuff.
