My original post appears to have dropped somewhere, so...

As everyone suggested, make a / on the hull or armour when
the damage is rolled.  After all damage has been marked
complete the X and do thresholds if necessary.	The big
difference this way is you will only ever make 1 threshold
check in a turn.  For a large fleet this would probably
speed things up.

Vector question- Am I the only one that drops a "start of
vector" marker before moving ships in vector?  Doing
that on the next turn the new vector is marker->ship, no
waffling about direction and none of the speed rounds 
you seem to get with the "official" rules.  I personally
think it is easier.
