I wrote this in 2001, so I don't recall.  Either because that's the way 
it is in FT (don't know...my copy has snuck off again) or because I 
didn't want anyone confused about movement being simultaneous.

Under "Beam Weapons"

Could change that if need be.  Actually velocity and speed *aren't* 
quite the same -- speed only has magnitude, velocity also has direction 
(so the ending velocity is Speed 12, Direction 4).

I wanted it too but I couldn't squeeze it into a single page.  Adrian 
volunteered to do graphics and layout after recuperating from ECC, in 
which case we might get get another paragraph in.  Bear in mind, though,

that some people still haven't recovered from last ECC -- for instance, 
  I understand Jerry still flinches if you say "Mint Jelly!"
