Okay, a simple question for those of you who do math(s). For some of us, it takes both brain cells a lot of time to figure this stuff out. Please check my assumptions.
Given Time in turns, Distance in units, Acceleration as M-Drive rating, and Momentum as cumulative Acceleration over time. Assume a ship with M-1.
At the beginning of Turn 4, the ship would have moved 9 Distance Units and have a Momentum of 3. Thus, at the beginning of Turn 5, assuming no Maneuver activity, the ship would move 3 more Distance Units in the direction it was going at the beginning of Turn 4, correct?
The Travel Times listed in CT Book 2, page 10, assume mid-point turn around and deceleration. Is there a correlation between Momentum at the start of jump and Momentum when re-entering realspace at the end of the jump?

Code:
Turn Distance Acceleration Momentum
Moved
0 0 1 0
1 1 1 1
2 2 1 2
3 5 1 3
4 9 1 4
