In the year 2246, a small group of Earth Alliance ships are trying to escape the clutches of the Minbari. We had a game of Babylon 5 Wars, a particularly crunchy set of space combat wargame rules.

IMHO any wargamer who grew up with Triplanetary and/or GDW's Mayday will find Full Thrust's vector movement to be easy and intuitive. Babylon 5 War's "vector" movement is a clunky mess.

They used it in the Earthforce Sourcebook.

@nyrath I played the EASB one. It used the cinematic movement for Minbari and other ships that had 'gravitic' drives, and vector for lower tech ships.

I've taught the FT vectored movement to a number of gamers who have never used anything like it before, and it was a lot easier than teaching the B5 Wars movement system.
