This and Beths post lead me to a conclusion that some people are using vector
movement differently to the way I do. The way I do it is that the ships facing
is
a clock face (1-12) but the directional vector _heading_ is not.

It seems other people are rounding the directional vector heading to a clock
face, which IMO sort of defeats the point of a vector movement system.

As in anything there is no wrong or right answer (whatever works for you) but
IIRC the original real thrust rule design intention was _not_ to round
the directional vector heading to a clock face?
