In addition, if we went back to the unlimited range missiles from SE3, it could help too... no more missile dancing. With mounts we can keep the launch ranges the same as unmodded, so there won't be any difference for the AIs.

While I like this idea on a personal level, I think it is a risky change to try and get implemented into the stock game. That change alone would tremendously increase the power of the CSM in the early game. So much so that it may become the ONLY viable weapon choice for as long as it takes the players to develop PDC. In combination with some of the suggested weakening of the PDC, we run the risk of turning SE4 into an all missle game from start to finish.

I think this bears some discussion, but we need to be careful with this one.
