If you use the CODE tag, it'll keep charts like that nicely formatted:
This is a good idea, IMO. (The impulse system, I mean, not the formatting!

) I used to play Star Fleet Battles and the system worked quite nicely. With the computer to handle the impulse, it should flow quite smoothly.
EDIT: And if you do use UBB tags, don't do what I just did and mispell them.
