Heya @Malon no need to apologise, totally cool, more than happy to do some edits!
Great point about distance and Kay's ship, that was purely an oversight (re distance and distance lasers travel, I remember now they tend to fizzle out fairly quick as well for that matter, didn't occur to me at the time), I will correct that :)
I just want to clarify regarding my movements and your breaking.
Your post describes Greybok as 'slamming on his break pedal' which I took to be a pretty drastic move and drop in speed, such that even if he did go straight back on the accelerator, it would take some time to build speed again. If I've misinterpreted that I'm happy to change, it's the 'slamming' that makes me want to be sure as to the extent, and then how quickly the freighter accelerates!
Regarding my movements, good point on my speed, I will adjust and clarify :) The only thing I wanted to mention is that I didn't think I was stopping firing to turn, and I don't think that would have taken at all long as his hands are already on the sticks (I imagine they're the same, like a joystick with a trigger? If that's incorrect that's all good and can correct), so there isn't really any transition time for that. That being the case, if the Starbird has to build speed again while I'm still moving (not at a great pace, but enough that I seem to 'rocket ahead of you'), that I would be able to throw myself right and out of angle fairly quickly. But perhaps I take one of the turret shots?
Again more than happy to edit though :D
