" A TL 9 super-missile is psuedo-velocity. By default, you treat base velocity, for purposes of damage, as x10. That's pretty great! But the accuracy remains +1 to +2, and the speed changes your ability to hit to -12, so your ability to hit is -10 or -11.
Not quite right. Super missiles get +3 to acc (p68). It still comes out to a net loss though.

I can't find anything to cover it either. Obviously it'll come out in the tactical system...at the scale involved, regular missiles are basically bombs with better sAcc.
