- | * Stage 3: Booster thrust, low maneuverability. Only used when the interceptor is dead-on with its desired intercept course as the Basic Strategic Missile and Anti-Creeper Strategic Missile move very fast and gravity just makes them move faster. This stage is needed in the event the interceptor missile is trailing behind the strat missile and can be used to close the distance when lagging behind. This stage is limited when in close proximity to the target to prevent overshooting. However, strat missiles can still be too fast for even the booster stage when given enough time to accelerate with aid of gravity on the descent path. | + | * Stage 3: Booster thrust, low maneuverability.

- | The multi-ringed range indicator of the CSMD originally displayed the effective areas from the CSMD where the interceptor missiles had improved interception reliability with each ring further from the CSMD being a less reliable area of interception. This was before interceptors had target prediction of strat missiles but there has been no reason to remove this and is a way to identify the CSMD's range independently due to its uniqueness. | + | The multi-ringed range indicator of the CSMD originally displayed the effective areas from the CSMD where the interceptor missiles had improved interception reliability with each ring further from the CSMD being a less reliable area of interception.
