  They sound logical. If the opportunity occurs, I'll try them out this Sunday.

  Addenda on missiles:

  A missile launcher on any ship that hasn't been purpose built to have a
missile launcher on that specific hardpoint (like the patrol cruiser) will
probably have to be reloaded from *outside* the ship. If we assume that same
density of the starship missiles as of the tac missiles (1) the missiles
will be 7 cubic meters big. That probably translates to something a little
over a meter in diameter and 7 meters long. That comparable to a extended
range Standard Missile, and considerably thicker.
  There is no way you can maneuver this monster around in a scout ship, so
the launcher has to be reloaded from the outside when the ship is not in
combat.
