So to me anyway, the reason why the ships look like they are turning on a dime is because the each square is such a vast distance that the acutual "Turn Mode" of a ship due to mass is unmeasurable because it is such a vast distance of area. Just my theory of looking at it.
I saw this after I posted my message below. Puke's already convinced me that as it stands, a tactical square is vast. My problem is with the ambiguity of scale.
Another thought: Take a DUC V, range 5 from its target. Imagine a uranium marble (or basketball, or Yugo) being bLasted toward its target and travelling millions of miles before it smacks into the side of the offending vessel. Even with sophisticated computers with the latest and greatest tracking system, that's still a heckuva shot!
OK, I promise I'll shut up now (at least till tomorrow).
