Greetings!
As my race takes its furtive first steps into the galaxy, the bigness of it all dawns on them. Big and empty.
And possibly full of things with nasty sharp pointy teeth.
We need missiles, friends, big missiles, small missiles, crazy missiles.
Please critique my design for a SIZE 4 Antiship missile: the Snake MK1.
Fairly basic starter techs. I removed passive sensing, because those had such tiny ranges.
Let me know what I've done wrong and what I've done right.

Oh, i guess thats a size 80 missile. 80 MSP, rather than 4 HS. Thought I was piling a lot on there.
Heres my new Striker class missile.
