I agree it's poor sportsmanship to do this. The OP said they were never do it so I can't help but wonder why he even asked in the first place. Several points have been raised that show this is clearly illegal. : (

If you're allowed to always fire them, even from reserve, can you "always fire" them even if you are dead or destroyed? I don't see the difference between one unit that can have no effect on the battle versus another unit that can have no effect on the battle.

Master of the Ordnance is different in the actual rules, because it is fired as if it was a weapon fired from the MoO himself.

No you cannot fire it if the vehicle is destroyed. If the vehicle is lost then the seeker missile is also lost. It counts as being fired from that vehicle. However, it has its own BS skill and an unlimited range and can only be fired in response to a marker light hit. Seeker missiles can actually be taken off as a result of a weapon destroyed on a vehicle as well because it counts as a weapon and it is a part of that vehicle.

Of course you can't, but you can always fire them, it says so in the special rule. I'm just saying it makes as much sense to be able to fire them in that situation in which you can't as it does in the other situation in which you can't, i.e. being totally off the board and not taking part in the combat due to being in Reserves.

You are misquoting the rule.

The rule says you may always fire them regardless of how far the vehicle moved or how many other weapons have fired. That's it.
