> Okay guys:
I expect that in the future you would still try to make things as close to "2"
as possible. Sensors, sights etc are all expensive, so the more you can pack
into your reusable launcher the better. If anything, the level of autonomy of
the missile may be represented by the level of fire
control - a Basic firecon indicates a wire guided missile, while the
Superior version is true fire-and-forget, terminal guidance, whatever.
