I have just posted a short solo scenario to try to explain how vector movement (inertia) works in full thrust.
ozkriegspiel.blogspot.com.au This is not to say the rules from GZG are unclear, just to give an example in case anyone wants to try a walk through. I prefer the vector rules to cinematic movement as it sets space ships apart from aerial fighters or wet navies. |

I'm all about *swoosh*, but never really gave a chance to nor tried to get the hang of vector. Thanks! I'll give 'em another go. DOug |

The system used on Galactic Knights works well and is simple enough if you don't mind the use if the drift markers. |

True, if I understand right, it's similar to Mayday and Delta Vee from late 70's, early 80's, assuming one's good with playing on hexes. I've heard new players find FT Vector easier than FT: Cinematic if they start with it, but I'm still more comfortable with the latter. Doug |

I found vector movement easier than cinematic, and I wasn't the best maths student. :D I still don't understand several important mathematical constructs, but that didn't stop me enjoying and grasping this aspect. |
