It would be nice to plug the holes in the game BUT that's not how the
game works.  I believe that AI type missiles are mentioned in one of the
Mags for 2300AD and that they are WORSE than remote controlled ones at
hitting the target.

What ranges are we using in TNE for the TNE DETONATION missiles and how
come TNE can use lasers and energy weapons while 2300AD must go
toe-to-toe?
