I found exactly the opposite; as you mentioned seekers are fairly ineffective. I just dodge them or run long enough for them to explode from shoot-downs or out of fuel.

Its the beams that kill. And to a lesser extent the bolts.

Bolts are fairly easily dodged at more than point-blank ranges. I sort of wonder why they are given such short ranges since range would appear to be their only possible advantage over beams.

Seekers can only be out-run in the stock game, which I rarely play. I have modded many things to suit myself, including bolt and beam speeds.
