OK coming from a vector point of view this is still not going to work. A

player worth their salt will come in with enough speed that they can get

the missiles in amongst you on the turn they're shot so the manoeuvre 
circle (though a sound idea) isn't going to be enough to compensate for
the 
"I shot my missiles before you can shoot me" problem. That's why I think
if 
missiles etc are to have a vector component there's going to have to be 
degradation of lock on with higher velocities (whether a reduce chance
of 
being effective or much smaller attack range or divergence/scatter).

Cheers
