Mike,
I think it would be great to operate missiles and mines in a
Newtonian
Universe, I've done it in my homegrown B5 fighter simulation game.
However,
that system requires a phased turn system and so woul FTIII if they
were used. Since the goal is to maintain playability, we'd have to give
up these weapons
systems to make it work. In the future, we can employ weapons with
their own
momentum such as mines, missiles, sand clouds, water baloons, decoys,
etc.
