FT: High Energy Turns (ala SFB)

How does this sound for simulating HETs with cinematic movement?
(an HET, High Energy Turn, allows the ship to face in any direction
with a chance of a break down)

An operating FTL drive allows a ship to make an HET.  The HET must
be plotted and can only occur at the beginning of movement.  An HET
allows a ship to face any direction before moving.  After the HET is 
performed, roll 1 die as a threshold check with a DM of -1, with a DM
of +1 per HET previously performed.  If the check fails the FTL drive
is damaged, 1 hull box is damaged, and the ship continues turning 
for 1D6 points.  Then move the ship its normal plot.

Well?
