Maneuverability

Maneuverability is a measurement of the turn rate of your ship. This is especially desirable for beam and projectile users which must face their enemy to fire. Some enemies will attempt to circle you to prevent you from being able to face them and if your maneuverability is too low you may have a hard time firing on them.
