Movement goes as follows:

First, plot your move, 1P+2, 2S-2, whatever.  (Cinematic) or whatever
the notation is for vector.

Second, in cinematic, add or subtract the veloctiy change from your
current speed, thats your new speed.  The change is immediate and
effects this turn.

Then move 1/2 your move, do 1/2 your turn, 1/2 move, 1/2 turn.

For vector again, the orders effect this turns movement.  It doesn't
mater if you apply them at the beginning, middle, or end, as you end
up in the same place.  The only thing that might matter is if you have
things like mines, planets, etc to avoid.  Then its a house rules
istuation.
