Going FT-mechanical at you again: The planet-based SMLs get to fire in
the same turn as the incoming high-speed fleet can fire their *non*-SML
weapons, and explode *before* the high-speed attackers can fire any of
their weapons... excepting, of course, Class-4 or bigger beam batteries,
MT-style missiles and Nova Cannon. The Class-4 and NC has certain
problems of their own - size, for example - leaving the MT-style missile
the only viable high-speed strike weapon in Full Thrust.
