Plasma vs cap ship missle

[Suicide Junkie]

Plasma is one MP faster than CSMs
Max-Tech Plasma does more damage from range zero out to 5 or 6, and fades continously.
Plasma has a higher max range (IIRC), but will do almost no damage there.

If you are playing P&N, you can use heavy bombardment missiles to help punch through PD, and Devnull has some mini missiles/ PD decoys to use as well.

Giving your enemy legendary fleets is always a problem with missile use.


I will usually just get missile tech from captured ships, or research it later on if I have to.
Missiles are good on planets & sats, since you can stack 100's of sats on your critical wormholes, launching insane numbers of missiles in each volley.
