Turning on a Ducat

[The Darque One]

For example, let's say a smaller enemy - a Vorchan in this instance - moves up off my Omega's starboard bow, about 3" ahead and 2" to starboard. My Omega still gets to move, but as the rules now stand, there's no way I can get that Vorchan into my bow Boresight arc. (That's why the Vorchan flew there) I can All Stop, and still use my other F arc weapons, or I can fly past and maybe boresight with the rear heavies if I'm lucky. Allowing heavy ships to turn even with All Stop makes then much more dangerous, as small, quick ships have an even harder time staying out of the way.

big ships don't need to be more dangerous. making it more difficult for the small quick ships to move out of the way will be removing the only advantage the small ships have. the whole point of being a small quick agile ship is that you are able to get out of the way of the leviathan that could otherwise turn you into free floating molecules.

Yep.

A simple solution might be a 'Turn on the Spot' order that allows 180 turn to a halted ship, but no Boresight fire. It also might make her an easy target as well.

i doubt anyone would use it for most ships unless they had long range weapons. it would be boresighted by a few long range weapons weapons.
