The way it was explained in the FB made perfect sense to me (pg.3). Once
you start a rotation, it keeps going till you stop it. Thus there is
essentially no difference between a 1 point rotation and a 6 point
rotation. In space no one can hear you yell, "Friction !"

This doesn't stop anyone who'd rather have it the other way to go ahead
and
do so, but I think that the maneuver thrusters should be equal to the
drive
rating if that's the case.
