In case you haven't noticed, missiles are heavy. It's nearly impossible to design a missile ship that will both get you ship-kills and be gatable at the same time.


Not true at all. I typically use cruisers for my defensive missile wing - if not for attack too - primarily because they weigh in well under 300kt. Being lighter and thus more agile than beam battleships can be really nice as well.

Also, keep weight and weapon range in mind... occasionally you can catch the enemy off-guard and tear them apart lopsidedly if you can combine better agility with a good weapon to exploit it.
