I can see powergamers bringing two copies of every template, one short, one long!

Seriously though, I nudge my minis so often, they are always making 1-2mm shuffles during turns. This was the case for every player I played during my last Kessel Run.

I consider this kind of fumbling to be 'turbulence', and an unavoidable feature of any game played with physical components and the human body.

Yeah.  I'm shaky and always fumbling my ships around too.  I do my best to be careful but in a game like this there's always going to be some human error.  Just like if the pilots were flying in real life.  Turbulence is a good way to think about it.

Turbulence would be a good way to think about it… Except there's not really any turbulence in space ;-)

There is indeed turbulence in space, and is believed to be very fundamental to the formation of the universe's 'geography'  It quite frequently disrupts our satellites.  What it's effects would be on a starfighter moving at high velocity are, I couldn't comment…perhaps negligible, perhaps not.  It is not something that seems to have ever effected a starfighter operating beyond the stratosphere of a planetoid in the fiction.  Obviously it isn't perptuated or regulated by pressures and gases as it is in an atmosphere, but there are forces at work.
