If you lose to missiles and fighters in the end game, it means you got careless and did not include enough PDCs. That, or you were overwhelmed industrially anyways, and so the enemy had many times as many ships and such as you.
My apologies. I should have included that combined arms fighters missles and all the weapons avaiable are helpful in securing victory. But Mr. Fyron you did go to the heart of the matter He who produces most has a darn good chance of winning. I have run up against good designs with better ship designs better weapons but lost anyway 'BECAUSE' I was out produced. Getting the most planets the most production in the shortest time can make up for a lot of mistakes.
And the Missle barrage I can bring into the combat is the prelude to the heavey ships going in to grapple with the enemy.

Hidden fact: Missles are a prime target and ships will shoot their primary weapons at them rather that the assult ships behind the missle storm. This allows you to Fire first at his ships with your ships.
