Another reason for fast rotation is to prevent laser hits from burning through the hull.That depends entirely on how fast we rotate the ship... For a civilian ship we have little reason to rotate fast, but a military ship may want to accelerate erratically in small increments to be difficult to pinpoint ("agility"), so may want to rotate quickly?
And according to MT we can vector the thrust, so the axis of thrust is variable, but that isn't defined in CT.
