Some attacks allow you to fire outside your forward facing arc, which is what the Falcon and turrets are naturally capable of (and some special pilot skills and upgrades). All ships still have that forward arc painted on their base. So as long as you are at range 3 OR not in the painted arc, autothrusters will activate.

This is great, because turrets prey upon arc-dodging ships that have the Boost action. Now they won't have such an easy time taking them down.
