Newtonian Missiles In Elite Dangerous... Good or Bad?

[Spacescifi]

 

Had me thinking what if they changed it to that?

Still speed capped, just at a higher cap than most normal ship speeds.

Would it make missiles less or more effective ingame than the airplane manuvering in space gimmick missiles currently in use?

Nothing else would change except missile mods: Go full kerbal on missile design. Any shape, or propellant, can even make it a nuke.

And of course, shields can shield against nukes to an extent.

What do you think of the concept? Would it work or not?
