Missiles remind me:
On usual games, there are those AI's and Human Players that like to use Long range Weapon platforms and Missiles. Lots and Lots of Missiles.
Although I don't make this a priority, On usual after I encounter them Missile liking races (AI examples: Norak, Krill, Terran, Toltoyan, Jreanar) I create Light Cruisers with armed with only Point Defense, and sometimes APB, PPB, or Quantum Torpedoes along with it. I arm it with the latest sensor tech has to offer also.
Makes a mean escort and patrol ship and sometimes fleet leaders in planetary offense and fleet action against missile fleets.
And to breach those Weapon platform guns, (Not Missles) I create a cruiser with the basics, all the latest missiles and get into maximum range and keep firing until they peel away. Then send in a transport or a fleet in for the kill. Can't say that it works 100% as some players are more clever than others, but it's simple and it works... Mostly
Edit: I can't spell... M... I...
