Mornin Les,
You are pretty much on target with your thoughts regarding centerline thrust on one engine. Here is a link that better explains some of your questions in single engine performance in the twin Velocity.

As you can see, with the twin engine design, they lost the traditional vertical winglets and went with a traditional vertical stabilizer. I “thought” I read something about them even playing around with turban engines, but not 100% on that. Beachcraft designed and built the Starship. Just to bad the idea never gained traction.
Cheers
