Well, the official answer is that it affects the V in the turn the thrust is used – ie: if you’re doing velocity 6, and thrust 4 to accelerate to 10, you move 10MU in the turn that the thrust order relates to. I’d always assumed that was pretty clear, but maybe that’s just because no-one has ever queried it with me before!
