Wikiwork: Missiles. Help is apreciated.

[Zook (OP)]

1) After being stranded on Proxima Centauri for three years (my ship ran out of fuel, you know the problem), I'm back on Earth and doing some work on the wiki again. So far I've fixed a bit of this and that, and now it's the Missiles page that received a work-over. It's not done yet, but I'm getting there.

So why don't you take a look
http://aurorawiki.pentarch.org/index.php?title=Missiles
and point out my mistakes and omissions?

2) Also, I need a few basic missile designs as examples. Early and medium tech levels, various sizes, just post them here. They don't have to be perfect, just serve as examples of what is possible at the various tech levels. I don't need a dozen designs, just three of four.

3) Finally, I've written a tutorial on missile defence for newbies.

Perhaps you can help by pointing out my mistakes and omissions there, too?

1) Looks pretty flushed out.
2) I can give some Ion Drive examples because thats where I'm at in my current game.

Actually managed to kill something with the first one so cannot be a complete failure.  The long (extreme?) range is not entirely accidental.  The only good scientist I got happened to be in sensors so I opted for long range combat.
