Yes, a human could react quicker to something outside it`s set
instructions
better and faster than a AI, but said missile would still be a lot
faster at
reacting and maneuvering than a starship. Anoughter reason for having MT
missiles using fighter movement  is to simplify the game (so you don`t
have
a different movement system just for the missiles, because the MT
missile
movement as given is OK for cinematic movement).
