Straights, Banks, and Turns
It means the maneuvers found in your template set; 1,2,3 straight, bank and turns, etc not k-turns, sloops or talon rolls
Edited by Dr MoneypantsOk cool. Did I miss that in the article or is that RRG?
RRG page 6. Bearing.
R4 Astromech also explicitly defines it:
Decrease the difficulty of your speed 1-2 basic maneuvers (Hard Left, Bank Left, Straight, Bank Right, Hard Right).
Also note that stop and reverse maneuvers are not considered basic maneuvers.

So basically, if you put a template in the front guides, then move the model so the rear guides are at the other end of the template; that's a basic maneuver.
What if you used the bank template (to the left, let's say) but instead of rotating the ship 45 degrees CCW at the end, you'd turn it 45 degrees CW? Is that a basic maneuver?
By the same reasoning, that's basically what happens with the old school IG-88D funky segnor's loop (the one where you do a flip 180 at the end of a hard turn) - the facing has turned 90 degrees, but it's been done with the unexpected way of rotation.

The 45 degrees mentioned are a description of what a bank does; not instructions on how to perform the maneuver.

it would then include 2 variants of it! Got it.

Description, not definition.

'follow the standard rules for executing a manoeuvre' is the key thing you're ignoring, those standard rules being 'template in front nubs, back nubs in template', in short.
