SITS is great for 1-3 ships per player in some sort of skirmish.  Try to
fly fleets with it and the hair torn out coats the floor.

I'll disagree on it adding much to the game. I like SITS/AV:T vector
movement better than FT as long as I'm only running a ship or
two.  For fleets FT wins hands down.

It's not hard to produce a "real vector" system for FT. My assumptions
were:

(1) Ignore facing change time. Turns are probably around 5-15 minutes
long anyway. It's too much effort.

(2) Ignore the third dimension. It looks pretty but it doesn't add all
that much to the game.

What's left is the continuous-thrust element. Not a problem. You do need
two markers per ship to work out its movement, but you only need to
leave one of them on the table between movement phases.
