Well, I'm half right. The exact words are
(More Thrust page 3) 

"After all missile movement is completed, play 
proceeds as normal with all ships moving in accordance
with their orders; any ships that
finish their movement within 6" of an active
missile (and NOT in the Missile's REAR arc)
may be attacked by that missile during the 
firing phase of the turn.

That means not the old REAR arc (25% of
the whole 360 degree circle around the
missile).

Now we say 3" because all the other 6"
types of things (missiles and fighters) are
now 3" IF you are using vector movement,
which we are.

I can see nowhere where these rules are
overriden in the later books. If you do, let
me know where.
