Re: FT: Missiles and Gas Tanks

I don't have a problem with them at all. It depends on what 
assumptions you make about scale, power sources, etc. If the missile 
is trying to impact a maneuvering target, it will be constantly be 
burning whatever it uses for fuel (antimatter, peat moss, whatever) A 
missile, by definition has limited tankage for such, as it must carry 
sensors powerful enough to track a target, a warhead of sufficient 
yield to severely damage a target, and thruster arrays to maneuver 
with. If you are assuming fractional cee missiles, those are more 
properly railguns anyway. As far as fighter endurance goes, the 
endurance rule is (like all rules in the game) optional. I can see if 
a weapon on a fighter took a great deal of energy to fire how it's 
batteries might run low for it's weapons. Just a thought. A great use 
for missiles BTW is to herd an enemy task force into a killing zone 
for Wave guns....
