Hi.
I wanted to ask, what do you think about using reduced size launchers as a standard armament on missile armed ships. I have two designs, and I'm curious how would they fare against ships with full size launchers. Obviously you can stuff more smaller launchers on a ship, thus increasing the number of missiles in a single salvo.
