Re: [FT] Houserules for bringing MT missiles into FB

I don't know.  You could allow FT missiles as a salvo missile defense by
making them a separate missile type dedicated to this purpose, rather
like the decoys used in the Honor Harrington books.  The HH decoys were
essentially small drone ships with enhanced signatures, ECM, etc.  Very
useful for pulling missiles off course, but rather prone to attrition.

Decoy MT missiles wouldn't be worthwhile for smaller ships, but they
might become economical for some of the capital ships.	Any thoughts on
cost?
