RE: Further thoughts on hitting with lasers

Hi Roger

This is incorrect. Depending on the distance the target ship will have
moved but the beam will be travelling in a straight line. It won't be
like the target is standing still unless it is very slow or very close.
Also targetting systems would take into consideration target
acceleration.
