one: what would run out of fuel first? the missile or the dodging ship?

two: the missile wouldn't need to be all that accurate, just fast. it would turn itself into very high speed shrapnel on the way in that would do heavy damage.

three: finally someone brings up the laser argument. empty space ...

QUOTE (factoid @ Mar 9 2007, 01:35 PM) Actually the lack of gravity and drag makes things easier for missiles. A missile in space doesn't have to keep trusting to maintain it's trajectory, so it can carry less fuel, which gives it less mass. If the missile is equipped with attitude thrusters, it ...

speed: meters/sec
distance: meters

and using those measurements makes the ships bleeding slow and the asteroid fields immensely dense. distances of 3 to 4 miles between alephs, rescue po speeds of 135 Miles per hour etc ...
