What about this simple method for movement: your move value is the number of forward inches you can move. Each 45 degree turn you make during movement costs a number of inches of movement depending on the bulk of the vehicle. Turns are made in place, at any point during the move, and as many times as you want as long as you have the movement for it. This represents small maneuvering thrusters slowing the ship down and turning it, vs larger forward thrusters pushing it straight. Very easy and fast; no templates or charts or funny stuff but would still get the job done. Represents inertia well, which is really the ONLY thing in space movement (there is no hydrodynamics or aerodynamics like in naval or aerial movement which necessitate movement arcs and banked turns and whatnot).

I've found the same thing. The heavy is such an obvious target, having the highest damage output and being easiest to take out. It rarely survives long enough to get a good shot off, leaving my cruiser squadron gimped. I like the idea of mixed squadrons, maybe what I have to do is to try to hide the heavy in terrain until I want it to open up (have it lead from the back).

We have several players at Southern New England Gaming (SNEG), in Swansea, MA (between Fall River and Providence, RI). We're pulling our fleets off the shelf and liking the new edition. Join our forums if one of you wants to come down: http://www.snegaming.com/sneforums/

This works as well. So much easier than templates but will give similar effect.
