@ Hawk: If a player is not good in a fighter a missile or torp isn't really going to help them improve, unless you are fighting someone who just jousts you and they are not very good there's a very good chance you will be eating your own missiles or torp if fighting someone experienced. Even the best out there do it on occasion, ain't that right Joe? :P
Fact is missiles become all but useless in a mass brawl, really there only effective against someone who is jousting you or fleeing in a relativley straight direction, other than that, they wont track. Jousting is a terrible idea if you dont know what your doing, your either going to eat a missile, torp, razr, SN or get smacked with a mine in the face.
Edit: @ Baltar: Noted, was just making a small joke regarding our past lol!
