Regarding the missile bug: I think this happens because a missile can get stuck inside the launching ship (which it isn't allowed to imediately collide with), and the game elegantly deals with this by dropping increasingly-large velocity differences on them. You can see at 12:30, the missiles jiggling around inside the Lion, which really doesn't make much sense. That's just a guess, but it does explain why this only seems to happen to large, goofily-shaped ships.
