Actually, I think it would work just as well to increase the amount of damage required to destroy seekers. As it is now, a single hit from a PDC will destroy a seeker of same (or lower) level. If missiles are harder to destroy, PDC's would become more balanced.

You'll also find that seeking parasites fire every TWO rounds, vs. THREE rounds for other seekers. And the parasites are faster too. Don't recall how much damage they can take, nor how much they do, but I REALLY dislike fighting against organic races because of the seeking parasites.
