Again - I don't think this works then.	There are lots of chase scenes
and the Shadows don't have the ability to chase things down that fast. 
I think that if you want you could give them the ability to zero all
momentum at the cost of 1 thrust point, face any direction with another
thrust point and then go.  That actually makes some sense...  Inertia
dampening drives!

It is not that they move at incredible speeds, it is that they can
quickly change direction, even with vector movement.  In cinematic, it
almost allows you to be anywhere you want on the table (although, you
won't have anything to fire).  The thrust of 20 is actually a side
effect of being able to deliver frightening amount of beam dice.<br
