I dont know. I would assume that missilesa are limited by the 2 point
turn rule no matter what, as most of their thrust would be dedicate to
forward thrust.

I would argue that under the rules that a missile can only be at
movement 0 at launch , when launched the missilesa can not stop except
when attacking.

I played a game where i was the recipiant of massed missle fire, and
they are nasty (I feel that missile defence is really poor in FT, and
since they ignore fields,thay are dangerous. They are the killer apps of
FT).

stupidity (just ask my SD which had all of its FC detsroyed with a
