Default Re: Forget Missiles(other than early game)

I've made a really successful missile ship that carries 8 missiles, thats more than enough to get through any PDC's (Unless the guy is nuts about PDCs)
Plus PDC's usually go after missiles before fighters, so they can be used to decoy shots away from fighters.
