It helps if you mark A) next position without acceleration; then B) next
position with max acceleration (bearing in mind thrust can be in any
direction).
 
BTW it looks like you can have a max thrust of 11 under vector rules. 
"How?" you ask.  Thrust 8, burn 1 of your extra 4 maneuver points to
rotate
90 degrees, then push port (or starboard) with the remaining 3 maneuver
points.  Or execute the same steps in reverse order.  It's not logical
(the
8 Thrust should occupy the entire length of the turn, so you don't have
extra time to push in the same direction) but it is, insofar as I can
tell
and until the amendment I feel sure Jon will add about 30 seconds after
reading this, legal.
