[FT] Side-slips in cinematic question

Subject: [FT] Side-slips in cinematic question

Hello all,

A question:

The side-slip manoeuvre (turn, halve move, turn in opposite direction)
is
a common house rule in Full Thrust, but what about asymmetric
side-slips?

Example: the following order: 2P+S, ie. to a 2 point turn to port,
followed by a 1 point turn to Starboard.

What should this mean:

a) Do a 2 point turn to port, move half current velocity, do a 1 point
turn to starboard, move the remaining halve velocity.

or

b) Do a 1-point turn to port, move halve velocity, do a 1-point turn to
port followed by a 1-point turn to starboard (i.e. no turn), complete
movement.

or

c) Treat as a 1-point turn to Port?

Charles
