The '(IYO somewhat over-complex) lock-on rules' only come in to play if
we 
were using sensor rules. Apart from that a working FCS was required 
somewhere in the fleet to attack a target, if you want you can do away
with 
that as well, make the MT missiles 'fire and forget' (as they were in
MT, 
.....I hope :) ....). But it's all a case of what you what.

Me, I have no problem with the ability of the MT missiles to pick out 
specific targets, bypassing all those nasty 'banzi jammers'. For me MT 
missiles are more discerning and harder to fool than the 'dump them out
at 
this spot and see who gets hit' SM ;)
