SJ,
I think stauration or area damage would be a great idea if it could be added. If missiles could have two damage Ratings, one for a near miss and one for a direct hit then they would be more dangerous. A direct hit could do tremendous damage to armor and internals.
For a nuke warhead they do not do a lot of damage as you pointed out.
Unfortunately this would require missile accuracy to be added (i'm ducking now
) along with some other changes.
