Re: Newbie question on second Main drive hit

And change of momentum means that you can't change course along with a
fixed  velocity.  A lucky NB x 2 hit on a capital ship means that the
now
exactly predictable target gets all the SMs available within range next
turn.  A true Missile Magnet.  Assuming the tactical situation
requires/allows such targeting (if you are  not counting ships destroyed
versus damaged or if ship loss is a minor factor in the scenario and the
ship exits the board next turn it may be 'last priority' as opposed to a
scenario when ship damage is critical and the ship is approaching beam
range of your troop transports.
