missiles

set 0× in templates and rigs

A volley of homing plasma bolts fired from a launch point: each is thrown out sideways, then steered onto `to` by proportional navigation with a corkscrew weave, dragging a streaked trail, and lands in a flash, a shock ring and sparks. Draws in world space, emission only.
