How will momentum work in Star Citizen? Will missiles and bombs gain momentum based off their launching ship's speed? Could a fast craft potentially crash into its own missile?asked by Manic

That would not be fun gameplay-wise.
Dave HaddockNarrative Director
No, no. You fire a missile and it goes straight out the back. That's something that struck me as funny. But yeah, because our physics are real, it's additive. The vector of the missile launch is added to the vector of your ship.

So you're not going to run under your own missile, at least you're not going to run it down.
Rob IrvingDesigner
Well, not immediately. You might. If you're not smart, you might eventually meet up with it again.
