RE: Thoughts on FB3

The faster both sides move the harder it is to hit.  This type of raid
may
well inflict no damage to either side.	Tricks to get the other side to
be
predictable are the fun and the risk.

A typical battle report with this type of missile mechanics:

My missile boats approach at speed 40+. They launch outside the range
of your weapons. They FTL out to reload. Battle over. Outcome depends
on whether or not the missiles hit anything.

Lots of fun, no?
