  Actually, that is the direction of SFB.  Drones (missiles) in SFB
remain on the board for a certain number of turns (usually 3) after
they've been launched, regardless of any manouvering they may perform
in the interim.  For my money, I'd say each missile gets three thrust
actions because it's far more realistic and actually not much harder
to keep track of than turn of launch.
