Agreed. I was making a point about potential abuse.

This is a very good point.

Truth be told, I'm more concerned with the standard version than the EMP
or

erm, I'm getting off the subject.

As for the FC issue, I rather liked the suggestion of 1 FC per missile
on
the turn of launch, but I have no PSB justification; it just seems
balancing.
