Whether it is done as EF or the way I proposed are both fine with me.

However, I would not want multi-turn missiles as long as they are prohibited
from carring V from turn to turn; they will simply be left behind in actions
with a higher base V.  The second thing to consider is the number of EF.  Your
suggestion of 6EFx6MU results in a powered envelope of 36MU, 50% larger than
either my proposal or the FB1 SMs.  I suspect that that would further alter the
game balance of the 3 MASS system.

Finally, I would hope that the place of MTMs/beta-HMs would be taken by the
larger classes of SMs, resulting in a clean spectrum without a big break in
capabilities, powwer, or game mechanics

Thats fine, but I'd want to keep the limit that FCS used for actual launches
are commited to that target for the rest of the turn.
