I became a huge fan of hull grapples for missiles in FF&S. None of this silly, launch 1 wait 30 minutes crap. Nope, this is a panic situation and we're taking him down NOW! Release all 10, guide them with the 3xMFD's and wipe that sucker out before he gets more than 1 shot at us.
That's just me though.

I guess it works if subsector dukes in your TU can throw around that kind of change and need to mount major military efforts, but it seems a wee bit overkill for me. That's personal taste, though, some people like killing dragonflies with shotguns. ;)

I'd have a lot less in the way of ship-to-ship weaponry and a lot more small craft in hangars, to give yourself the option to deploy the troops from orbit.
