I'd go for 12 or even 15mu increments, but then my slowest Eldar units
are Thrust-6 (and the fastest are... much faster <g>) and I have plenty
of maneuvering space <shrug>

No problem at all! If you don't count thrust used for turning it might
get tricky, but all changing of velocity should help the holofields IMO
