Can it, realistically? That's a LOOOOOOONG flight time and you will have a LONG time to shoot those missiles down. Also, do the missiles have the Delta-V to travel such long distances and hit a moving target?
You have to define your missile parameters and your sublight drive parameters. If you use Fred's version, 4G hot reactionless thrusters vs 5 G missiles means that if you launch from too far away, you basically never hit anything before all your missiles get sniped...
I'm inclined to think there's not as big a problem
in actual play with an actually defined setting. Which is good, as I want to use Spaceships.
