Usually it has been dependant on starting speeds and vectors.  If high
speed
and head on, there is no room for tactics; if lower speed and convergant
courses, you can attempt to out-manouevre the other side.

It gave a better feel of leviathan movement endemic to the universe; B5
capital ships can't turn very well in the context of the "combat turns"
used
in the tv show.

For thrust-4 ships and higher, this has minimal effect on movement and
appropriately penalises low-thrust ships without completely crippling
them.
