Remote Missiles

Remote missiles replace the missiles AI control system with an advanced remote-piloting system. This allows remote missiles to be manually piloted to their target. 

The advantage with this is that the missile is unlikely to be spoofed, as a human operator is controlling it, but as human operators reactions are slower than AI the chance of error while piloting is greater.

In addition the operator of the missile is normally the pilot or gunner of the ship that launched the missile, thus making the ship vulnerable to attack while the operator's attention is focused on piloting the missile.

Remote missiles are usually large with big warheads. They also have a manual detonation switch where the operator can detonate the missile when they choose. As many remote missiles have a large blast radius this means the operator doesn't have to actually hit the target to damage or even destroy it.
