[Deathstalker]

The biggest problem is that sure, it skips armor, but it HAS to get through the shields first. It dosn't do enough damage to get though the shields in time to damage the ship, esp in the later stages of the game when ships are running around with 1200+ shields. And with the strength of pdc and the mass use of pdc IMO a rate of fire of 1 would be justifiable. Remember, you can always still do the 'missile dance'.

The Devnull mod has missiles dropped to 25 weight instead of 50, this provides the 'massive firing' that Phoenix describes but still it makes the weapons 'almost' equal to direct fire weapons. PDC still usually wins out. Esp in human players with cruisers etc filled with just pdc V's.
