It should be fine to require it be mounted turreted or fixed-forward (or
fixed-other, depending on your tastes) with the standard space
multipliers.  That gives it a space in line with other 4-power weapons
(HEL/4, HVC/4).  There are several countermeasures that can affect
missiles that can't affect HVC/4s, for instance (ECM, reactive armour).

There is a field of thought that suggests vertically-launched missiles
should have a 360o arc of fire and take only the 2x multiplier for
`fixed upward' space.  We leave this to individual choice as to whether
to accept that or not.	:)
