No, page 50 presents a sequence for actions within a ship's turn. Page 49 talks about the sequence in which ships get their turns. (It doesn't really specify what that should be.)

Simultaneous resolution isn't a minor houserule. The piloting rules would need a radical rebuild, at least, and there might be further consequences.

Radically reworking Spaceships before using it isn't a bad idea by me, to be sure. But putting that out there...

You should probably actually look at what's on that page 49 - tactics contest is one of the suggestions.
