All very interesting, while being totally irrelevant to the Loophole
Plug I
suggested.
The rules currently written allow a Thrust 4 or higher ship to use Main
Drive, Rotate, Thruster Push, to get an total vector change of more than
the
Main Drive rating. IMHO, it doesn't make sense to allow this.
Requiring
Main Drive and Thruster Push to be executed together, without an
intervening
Rotation, is a simple way to fix this. Anyone DISagree?
