Dim is the word I'd use. Though the rest of the rules provide a 
vaguely physics-inspired movement system (note: I did not say 
_realistic_) the missile and fighter rules are plain dim. Yeah,
they're simple, but really they don't make much sense with the 
other movement.

I'd like to play with fighters using normal movement plots, though
making them as maneuverable as the kravak, and ditto with missiles. 

The problem is then to come up with some elegant hack which would 
allow fighters some fudgeing at the end of the turn, so they'd be 
more able to dogfight, etc. Maybe they don't plot in advance, but 
do use the normal vectorish move?
