Actually, its not as hard as you may think.  1 MU= 1 hex

	      A
      11     12      1
	 +****+****+
 F	*	    *	 B
   10  +	     +2
      * 	      *
  9  +	      +        + 3
      * 	      *
     8 +	     + 4
 E	*	    *	C
	 +****+***+
       7      6      5
	      D
If you treat each '+' as  half of a movement step, someone who starts
facing
12 centre of the hex, turns 1 facing to 1 o'clock and move 1 MU forward
would move one step to the + at 1, and a second step to the 10 '+' oh
hex B.
Not exact, but close enough.  Vector movement would work the same way.

If this is too much complication, then just use the a-f durectional
movement
and halve the thrust available for turning (with a minimum of 1 face
turned).
