I'm quite happy with the existing systm, but for those who aren't, I know of a cool freeware tactical combat game (on the amiga, calld simply "evil") which has a nice system: One movment point to rotate 45 degrees left or right, and then 3 or 4 points to move fwd.

Although that wasn't a space based game, this model works well for SE4 because in space it takes a lot of time and energy to change direction.
