Makes sense.  I won't comment on your details as I don't play SG.

Can't recall.

I agree.

Dunno about that, I'm thinking that while the GMS is more manouverable,
it 
also moves slower.  Definitely should be easier to juke a GMS than a
laser, 
f'rinstance....

Still, a sharp turn or sudden breaking at the

And isn't that huge in DS compared to, say, reality.

Depends on what you mean by decoys.  In DS, there are rules for dummy
hidden 
counters.  If you mean something like chaff or a "screamer" to draw fire

away from a specific vehicle, no, it doesn't exist, I'll be excited to
read 
what you come up with. ;-)

Seriously, maybe that can be explained away under current rules as part
of 
the ECM stat.  Otherwise, I haven't any ideas that don't become really 
really complicated (just like me).
