I quite like the fact that thrust and turn are coupled, so you have to
trade-off between one or the other. If you wanted to represent a range
of
manoeuvre ability, how about changing the amount of thrust you must use
for
a particular manoeuvre:

Human military drives (standard)  : 1 thrust = 1 turn point (max 1/2
thrust
can be used for turning)
Human civilian drives : 2 thrust = 1 turn point (max 1/2 thrust can be
used
for turning)
Human freighter drives (standard)  : 3 thrust = 1 turn point (max 1/2
thrust
can be used for turning)

Kra'Vak advanced drives : 1 thrust = 1 turn point (all thrust can be
used
for turning)
Kra'Vak 'super advanced' drives 1 thrust = 2 turn points (all thrust can
be
used for turning)

And so on ...
