Power Up: Ship Seeking Miss #24

Ship seeking missiles!!! Small damage, but pretty much a guaranteed hit.

Ideally, they would have X amount of maneuverability. If you fly out in a straight line and you're not faster than the missile, they'll get you. If you zig zag, they only have so much maneuverability (say, up to 270 degrees of total maneuvering ability?), and will just travel on straight forever until they hit something. Which would be AWESOME.

Also, if they could travel up to 270 degrees of maneuverability, you could conceivably lead them on a trajectory against whoever shot one at you. Mu-ah-ha-ha!

Quite doable. Already somewhat documented as a "special" tertiary weapon option in another ticket, but not as a power up.
