What's up with missles and torpedoes?

There are faster missles and there are missles with a slightly higher fire rate, but they're all weaker than the capital missle.

A faster missile is harder to run away from, and sometimes can get through point defenses by not giving an extra chance to fire on it. (This can be critical for large salvos.)

The faster fire rate missiles can do more cumulative damage over time (3 reload 2s vs. 2 reload 3s per 6 turns).

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
