Also, in my current game at one point I had fast ships relative to my beam fire control tracking (6400 vs 4000), so a hull mounted railgun could track at 6400 vs a turret mounted gauss at 16000. I decided to stay with the more flexible railguns because of their better offensive capabilities.
Now I think about it, all my recent campaigns have been beam-first races. I probably should get back into missiles at some point
Sound like a really good idea, and who knows maybe you idk go back into doing some mine plays and fix the various issues with them while your at it. hmmmm
