Do missiles really need more flexibility? This amendment would change
the 
missile threat cone into a cone plus a 42" radius circle.

A 42" radius circle covers my entire gaming table -- almost four times. 
As far as I'm concerned, you might as well give them unlimited turning 
ability. I couldn't use it anyway.

If it's called for, there might be a more agile variant missile that 
would lose some other advantage -- namely high damage.

Another variant that really tracks a chosen target might be nice too.
