Re: Real Thrust Discussion

Daryl discussed allowing missiles with a thrust rating of 12 to 16 and
only
two clock facings of turn ability and being able to attack any target
except
one in its rear arc.
  The problem with this aproach is two fold.  First, if fighters have
the
ability to turn to match any facing and a small craft (Mass 2 to 4)
could
have a very high maneuverability (easily 180) for very little cost, then
missiles could as well.  His suggestion that they have the ability to
"brake" just lends more credence to this.  Additionally, there are a lot
of
people who keep aplying fighter limitations to missiles.  The rules say
that
missiles may attack any target within their range regardless of arc...
