Ah yes.  The 3 (or 4) MU radius recommendation when playing vector due
to
ending vector positions for ships being less divergent than if the ship
applied no changes to it's movement.  The reverse situation is a pain to
-
being use to the 6 MU regular radius in Cinematic and playing with the
optional limited radius for vector play.
