No.  My point was that if you have the capacity to thrust in a
direction other than your main drive axis, you become a less
predictable target.  You could have the same ability on SDNs, if you
like, you just need a bigger drive.  (I don't think this would work
equally for bigger ships IRL because the thrust would not be applied
to all points of the ship at the same instant, so bigger ships would
be more likely to have something break -- but FT doesn't account for
that).
