Hmmm. Now that I think about it, the worst combination is written
movement and simultaneous damage. What you're doing is different. You've
taken away the tension of which ship to fire first and replaced it with
which ship to move first, within a movement category.

One thing, though, how do you handle the SV? I'm guessing you don't. I
could see the SV having a big advantage in your system. By simply
assigning at least 9 movement points, each SV ship would get to move
after all your other ships.

Still, I can see this being a not bad system if you really want to speed
things up. Why the requirement of the reverse thrust order? Why not let
players decide which ships to move first?
