Makes sense. After all, in space, once you apply intertia to an object, barring other applications of inertia it stays in motion. A missile in space, once launched, only needs maneuvering and homing sensors, and those shouldn't decay with distance enough to matter in game terms.
Fuel consumption for maneuvering is exactly the limit factor in ship - to - ship combat. What good is your inertia if target change course by 90 degree ?
Space combat in H.H. books by D.Weber is a good example.
