But yeah, I'm toying of the idea of ultra-long range combat right now-- multistage missiles designed to be blind-fired, usually as a first-strike weapon. I'd pick up stuff with passive sensors and launch them towards a waypoint where I expect them to be. By the time they get there, I could have several other salvos in flight and enough time to reload from a collier before the enemy detects my ships, if they detect them at all. Or, as the first salvos start arriving I can move some cruisers for more high-speed missile salvos.
I think I'd end up wasting quite a few salvos though.
