No, I said it takes getting used to.  I'm pretty damn
good at it now.  But every time I play someone who's
not used to thinking in those terms, the first game I
manage to get behind them with all their ships pointed
in the wrong way and spend a turn taking free shots at
under 6".  It's because they have played one of the
"other" space combat games and think in aircraft
terms--or they spent all their time watching Star Wars
and Star Trek and think ships bank.

halfbreeds.
