Default [Spaceships] Choosing Combat Scale and Turn Length

Greetings, all!

I'm planning my first Space campaign that seriously relies on Spaceships Combat. I'm trying to decide on a single Combat Scale and Turn Length and stick to it.

The ships have sAccel ratings ranging from 0.5G (but usually 1G) to 5G (probably the best fit that can be built at the moment; assume up to twice that in very, very exotic encounters involving Precursor tech). However, ship weapons range from S to (rarely) X.

I'm highly tempted to pick 1-Minute Turns on Close Scale or Standard Scale. However, that's not what Spaceships recommend. Will I get into any sort of trouble if I pick the 1-minute scale?

Could someone with more hands-on SS experience tell me about choosing ranges and turn lengths with various base ship parameters?

Thanks in advance!
