So far we've mainly used the MT movement rules rather than giving them
fighter movement - the reason being that "MT missiles doesn't use
fighter movement in MT, so why should they do so in FB" :-/ The main
variant has been to up their speed to 36 without changing their turning
abilities; the only effect of that was to make it easier for them to
overshoot <g>

Quoting FB, p.9, first paragraf: "...if at the END of movement there is
an enemy ship within 6" of the marker (in any direction) then the
missiles will attack it; if there is more than one potential enemy
target within 6", then the salvo will go for the CLOSER of them."

I don't consider my own ships to be "enemy", but the IF might do so at
times ;-)
