Default Re: Good defense against missiles?

Point defense are your best bet.
Research them up to Level 5 (not too expensive) and load every attack ship with at least a couple of them.

(Don't load a ship with ONLY PD, though. In strategic combat, they will simply run for the corners.)

The other disadvantage of missles is the reload delay. Rush in there with a few ships with 1-turn-reload weapons, and it won't take long.

Shields work fine, but also look into armor. Especially the advanced armor makes a very good defense.
