RE: Start For Sa'Vasku "Fix"

G'day,

We found it a bit unsettling at the start, but we've learned to cope so
to
speak ;)
Does make it harder to get out of harms way and still have a fighting
chance
of kicking back once you crumple. On the flip side I THINK (can't
rememeber
for sure) that one of the reasons Oerjan suggested sliding the range
bands
back to 9" was to reduce the impact of the "run away maneuver" whereby
the
SV just thrusted aft all the time keeping just ahead of the reach of any
chasing human fleets. Oerjan correct me if I've stuffed that one!

Does get tricky for sure and I've found I spend a lot more time
concentrating on getting my orders as good as possible with these guys
to
maximise the chance of being within my 9" too and not falling into spots
that are 10" etc ;)
