Yes. Tested.

With no fire control or sensors
That's not a terrible idea... I often see little civilian ships running around at something like 1750 km/s and can't be bothered to hunt down ANOTHER cryogenics ship. A ruler and some guesswork, and I could probably judge their destination and send some interceptor missiles.
Either way, it sounds like I can do what I wanted, if I do it carefully. My plan for this is to make a large drone with a passive sensor and fuel tank, with a secondary ordinance of a regular missile with a tiny sensor. Once an enemy is spotted, something stationary like jump point defenders or such, then missiles could be fired from virtually any range.
