They are target-seeking weapons! This rule presupposes that the fighter/antifighter balance has been fixed, either by beefing up PDS or by allowing anti-ship weapons to fire in point defense mode; and/or that you have some ECM to divert the missiles. > The main skill in ordnance is in the guessing of the enemy intentions > after ships move then you have replaced pulse torpedos with missiles. PTorps can't be shot down or ECM'd away. But yeah, these missiles act like missiles instead of like mines, which is the way SM acts now.
