Seekers are more viable in Proportions due to several factors:

* Light Missile Systems fire seekers up to about four times faster per kT than Cap missiles.

* Small ships are inexpensive to maintain and have good defense bonuses, so small missile ships can be fast, economical, defensive and cheap (don't need CS or ECM).

* Good fleets include small ships, which can mount less PD and are hard to hit with direct-fire, so missiles are good against them.

* Higher-tech proportions drones are also potent and PD-soaking.

* Fighters are very PD-soaking, so a fleet using both fighters and seekers can easily overwhelm PDC. This is one reason why Proportions offers self-defense cannon, which are cheap range-one defenses against missiles, of almost no use against fighters.
