Well actually they fire according to the acceleration at a given point in
time, which is correct. There's no lag between the ship moving and the
thrusters firing, and there shouldn't be because as soon as a thruster fires
it imparts acceleration to the ship.

Though I may add a short warm up period before they fire, so it seems less
like they can just switch on and off instantly.
