Well... yes and no. It allowed me to launch missiles very accurately,
but it also allowed those NSL heavies to use most of their weapons most
of the time instead of about half their weapons about 2/3 of the time
(and none of their weapons except the C1 batteries the remaining 1/3)
as happened in the last battle. It added to the overall level of death
and destruction on both sides; if any side benefitted from it, it was
the NSL.

It certainly was a very radical departure from our normal tactics, and
I hadn't quite realized that a non-moving ship turns as fast in
Cinematic as it does in Vector <g>
