[QUOTE="BlackJaw, post: 285666, member: 888"] hmmm that little bit of the concept was rewritten about a dozen times and got less coherent with each rewrite... let me try to "rework it" into something that makes more sense. Turn In Place (replace max turn) A vessel can only turn so much in one space before it has to move or wait for its next round. Even a hovering vessel can only turn a limted amount in one place. Example: Jar'ed, piloting a small fighter of good manuverablity, takes a single Pilot a Vessel action. He can immediatly turn his vessel's facing 45o or 90o in either direction, move at least one space forward and make another turn of 45o or 90o in either direction. If he makes 45o turns, he could turn up to four times in that round without exceeding his Total Turn limit. See Bellow. Total Turn The vessel can only turn so much in a round, even if it turns repeatedly durring a round, or turns in difrent direcitons. The degrees of all the turns made durring the round can not exceed this amount. Example: Jar'ed, piloting a small fighter of good manuverablity, takes a single Pilot a Vessel action. He can make two 90o turns, up to four 45o turns, or a 90o turn and up to two 45o turns; as long as no single turn is more then 90o and and the total amount turned is not over 180o. If the pilot makes two "pilot a vessel actions" the Total Turn value doubles but the Turn In Place value remains the same. With greater focus the pilot can make more turns, but he can not make the vessel better at turning. That better? The hard part about things these rules up is trying to get them "down on paper" in a coherent way. I know the rules, but I can't reread what I've written and tell if it makes sense to people who have just read it. [/QUOTE]
