Yes, it's really worth it -- in other words, it would give missiles too
much flexibility. Right now, one of the balancing factors against the
devastating punch of a missile is the missile's relative predictability
and lack of maneuverability. I'd hate to see a missile that can stop on
a
dime, turn any direction, and accelerate up to max speed, all within two
turns.
