Slow ships are dead ducks for missile salvoes. Anyway, it just wouldn't 
work.

If I have T8 missile ships (or somethign similar) and I feel you've
limited the table entry speed too low, I'll just give the following
orders
on the first turn: 

4L4 or 4R4

And I will not move one single inch closer to you. Then I'll just boost 
away, gather speed, sweep around and enter table when I feel like it.

Which results in the "off the table" problem on the first turn instead
of 
the second.
