So, I've been reading over a lot of proposed ship designs and the like and I'm still quite confused by designs that use lasers, railguns, and gauss cannons. Specifically, I'm unclear as to why people would use those over missiles? In the limited combat I've had in Aurora, it seems like being able to use missiles from standoff range is a much better option then try to get in close. Am I missing something? What reason is there to use weapons beyond missiles?
