As Örjan, I think, already pointed out, you can use this "trick" to
increase thrust in pretty much any direction, i.e. to turn. Doesn't help
Thr2 ships tough...

I really need to find the time to do the "slightly more real physics"
movement system.

Under the vector system, the predictability of your movement is strictly
a
function of your thrust rating, not velocity.
