Topic: Movement orders that only include sideslips

Would the orders for a starship just making four right sideslips have to be recorded as 0RRRR or RRRR? 

I think it's essentially the same question, but assuming a speed of four from the previous turn, would the thrust requirement for such an order be 4 or 8?

Re: Movement orders that only include sideslips

The movement orders would be "RRRR".

The thrust requirement (assuming a previous speed of 4) would be 4. (Difference between speeds (zero) plus 1 for each sideslip.)

Awesome, thanks!  I was hoping that speed/momentum would considered carried forward in the sideslips.
