> measure (to determine velocity and course), sometimes the 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?
