[FT] Missiles (was Re: Free Orange Republic Ships)

G'day,

To put it in 12 words or less, they get 3 CE, can go 18" a turn, no
secondary movement. There the rules Derek posted earlier this year, with
a
fewer minor things hammered out (like when the controlling ship loses
sensor lock then the missiles must fly along their current course and
attempt to acquire a ships as a target if they get within 6" of it). If
anyone's interested I can repost them if you like.

We play it that SMs and MT have got IFF, emines don't. So far there's
been
a lot of Narn memorial services ;)

Cheers
