We have been promised the introduction of shock damage which should favor larger warheads compared to many small ones.
I'm not sure what you are trying to argue Lazerus, as you have observed the AI missile defense is pretty weak, and you want to make weapon systems possible which would reduce anti-missile capabilities even further by flooding them with micro missile spam. I don't think nerfing the limited AI defenses even further is an useful thing.
It was mostly for my fighters, not for my actual anti-ship missiles, and also because at my current games tech level (Late antimatter), these sorts of things seem like they would be the norm.
And yes, I know the AI has weak missile defense, but that appears to be a flaw for every ship design of AI heritage from guided missile cruisers to FAC
While I know that it could be used to overwhelm missile defenses, lets be honest, who here doesn't have fleets that overwhelm AI missile defense as it is?
