<chuckle> Probably, yes :-)

My main problem with flying fast in Cinematic is that I risk
overshooting my target (thanks to that same jumping time which causes
the "Rsensor limits max speed" illusion). It is extremely annoying to
see your speed 40+ strike boats with lots of (F)-arc sub-packs, needles
or P-torps end its movement just beyond the enemy... and it invariably
leads to very spectacular disasters, when they all died without getting
a single shot off :-/ 

I don't do it that often nowadays, but it was a regular feature of my
first few years of FT gaming :-)

In Vector, overshooting isn't that much of a problem... provided, of
course, that you realise that you're going to overshoot in time, and
turn to face the right direction :-)

However, extreme speeds leads to a desire for shooting during movement
:-(
