I can't disagree with the maths of this, but to my mind the game doesn't
_feel_ right if thrust-1 Uber-dreadnoughts are able to rotate as fast as
a
thrust-10 fast attack ship. We already limit rotations based on thrust
in
our house rules, which means that the tactics of getting into your
opponent's blind arcs come into play much more.
