You might also check out this thread, Beams v Missles We ended up with two threads with the same name, and there are some possibly helpful comments in the other one.

Re: Beams v Missiles
I still think Missles are useful throughout the entire game. The reason is that A combined arms approach allwos you a chance to defeat the talisman or the crystal defence. And if you achieve industral superiority then missles become even more effective. If you saturate a defender with missles then after the point defense has fired the defending ships start using beam weapons to take out missles then your beam ships have a better chance to approach and fire. Combined arms missles drones fighters and plenty of Fleet ships can win against any specialty weapon. But the logistics and micromanaging nightmare is a factor.

Re: Beams v Missiles
I do not believe any beam weapons can target missiles other than PDC...

No I didn't. I linked to the other thread with the same name as this one. That's the point.

Re: Beams v Missiles
We could always change the title of this thread to "Beams vs Missiles II" to clear things up...
