Nope. It is however very much like using a ~30mm autocannon to kill 
an inbound ASM, which is exactly what today's gun-based PD systems 
do. (OK, some of them use 25mm or 40mm autocannon instead, but you 
get the point.)

Also note that an MTM is only about as big as a Full Thrust fighter, 
which is destroyed by PDS on a 4+. The missile itself is not Mass 2; 
a fair bit of that Mass is the missile hardpoint mounted on the ship. 
For a comparison, look at the Mass 4 SMR where we know that the 
missile salvo itself is only Mass 2 (since that's how big an SML 
reload using identical missiles is) - leaving 2 Mass, ie. 50% of the 
system's total Mass, for the rack part of the  salvo missile rack.

>2. They use fighter kill rolls on salvo verses whats in the book.

Interesting. Haven't seen that one described at all before, actually...
