Interception Margin of Error

Newbie Alert!

One problem I have run into with interceptions is that a ship traveling E (for example) isn't precisely at 90 degrees, it can be as far as 70-100 degrees (usually closer to 85-95 degrees). This means with 100 percent realism, I could be dozens if not hundreds of nm off course by going with precise bearings like that.

Anybody know how to deal with that, or is just a matter of trial and error?
