Actually, that would take a couple dozen die per ship.	And that gets a 
little silly.  I can do this in my head--if my opponent can't, too bad.

not logical (the >8 Thrust should occupy the entire length of the turn,

Actually, I caught onto the flip-turn the second time I played with 
vector.  It's a neat trick.  IMHO, doesn't require a rule because it 
can't happen more than once per pass.  Only useful when changing 
directions 180 degrees.
