RE: [FT] seeking Salvo Missile advice

G'day,

Sorry haven't the time to help you out with you main questions, the only
question I do have is 

> Launch speed depends upon the geometry of the launch.

> Missiles launched into the F arc have initial velocity [V(i)] equal to

How are you getting around the problem of ships coming in at speed 72
and hitting their opponent before the opponent has a chance to get beams
in range to do damage back? That's what's always killed vector missiles
for us.

Cheers
