When dealing with the directional control of a ship, one must understand that there are no limitations, aside from those the [[inertial dampers]] and structural integrity will handle. While the ship can handle a full skidding (flat, with no bank angle imposed) turn, the standard procedure is to induce a bank angle for all turns; this allows more thrusters to be able to assist in turning the ship.
