Ever noticed how sci-fi wargear is always dumber than conventional
stuff? I'd like to be able to use one of the burns to change direction
in flight so it looks like the missiles have come from someone else. A
terminal burn wouble be really useful, it's when you need it the most.
If I was a missile I wouldn't like to try to hit an evading target by
drifting...
