Nice summary. Always kinda knew that, but never really put the words together like that. That may be the real reason that missles rule the early game, and a so weak in the late game. Its not so much the missle damage and PDC cannon research ('tho that is there). Its the ability to overwhem an opponent is gone once people gear up and start building fleets. If you stay 2 hull sizes above your opponent, you could field more missiles than his PDC, but that really doesn't stay the case for long.
