Indeed. Ideally, there should be a system to represent your character knowing when and where, within some error, the attack is going to hit. How long that is from the moment the character determines it would grant the character a bonus to defend, with an appropriate adjustment for the above error. I've no good idea on how to build such a thing, unfortunately.

In a setting where objects can move faster than lightspeed, characters being able to perceive faster than lightspeed is a possibility. Of course, that pretty much has to be the case for penalties beyond
c to come into play - if you can't perceive it, you can't defend against it.
