The old ones did hull damage, yes, but also had only 20 ammo, 20 second cooldown and crazy high energy consumption. There was almost no point in using them. Now it's a great way for heavy battleships to deshield light ones quickly and consistently, if the missile doesn't get destroyed on the way. Plus, it messes up the other guy's aim as it's travelling which makes people tilt. Besides, the only reason why they're EMP only is because of vanilla ships and their interaction with missiles. Until those get redone, and it's been mentioned multiple times, bringing back hull damage versions would mess things up more than what they are now.
Really ?
Old "almost no point in using them" BS missiles was good enough for me to do some serious damage to even Valors in my crappy and broken Bretonian Carrier , @ Thundy knows , i fly with him in pair , i missiles , he Cerberus/Mortars , i was one who started using and wining in double set Missiles BS , and miraculously , in first patch after that they are nerfed , if i was paranoid , i would say they are nerfed because it cant be allowed that poor pilots like me beet some "ace" !
Current BS Missiles can de-shield , but thats all , we all know Hull is what mater in BS , Shield is just 5 % or less of Hull strength .

Oh ? Their consumption drop by 30 % , but their power reduced from 9000 damage to 4500 . You fire 2 of them to have"old" 9000 damage and you spend 70 % + 70 % energy , that makes 140 % energy spent , is that a buff ?

Had you used it, you wouldn't even think of crying about "being useless against snubs". Solaris cruisers or razor battleships are still a huge threat to anything smaller than a cruiser, and are the absolute best way to deal with them. Try it out sometimes, you can't have a loadout that's the best against everything. I can personally tell you I've seen people razor multiple snubs on their battleships (hello Thunderer) as well as dry bombers quickly with solarises or instakill with a mortar.
You loose bet , i have couple of anti snub setups , for example , i present you my LNS-Belgrade , 6 Cruiser Solaris + 3 Cruisers Solaris gatling + 1 BS Solaris on flak slot ( you cant mount better than that on any Cruiser/BC ) , and STILL ,if you surprise him in first shoot , at best you can de-shield sub and give him small hull damage in first time you fire on him , after that pilot will either use fast "shield running" attack and retreat or he will no longer approach you closer than 1000 and he will keep NOVA/snac you from safe distance .
It is not "I'm useless against snubs on my cap" whining , it is FACT that Capitals are broken , and it is FACT that they are nerfed in couple of last patches , and even before that , they dint exactly "shine" against snubs .
Like you see , i dont cry , i counter you with facts in civilized way .
