Neato idea, and the last point is too valid.  An old inventor demo game
called pointblank had fly-by-wire missiles, but that had a HUGE playing
field, and a tank could take a couple of shots before dying.  Also shot
life should be less than a regular shot.  Same as guided perhaps.  You
should also be able to break out of flight control by pressing the fire
button or something (something pointblank did).
