In a sense, doesn't this make the ship slightly more nimble? Goes
further
to the side than if you applied the extra half to the first half of the
move? *shakes his head at his own confusing verbage*
Also, of course, halves of halfs makes more sense with high mu movement;
it's a bite when the rounding factor is a significant part of your
'speed'.
Please don't find these relatively small quibbles other than
observations
on an idea I wish I had other players to work it out with...
Time to corrupt the youngsters!
