Missiles are useful if: a) the target's shields are down b) you're not fighting in a nebulaeous enviroment / asteroid field and c) your target has no cms.
Cruiser Solaris turrets are a waste of a hardpoint. Get use to the fact that in most situations bombers will kill you dead.
Cruise pulse cannons are kind of underpowered. So much so that the LM is better at bringing down shields.
Razors are ok, but since you only have 8 hardpoints, you'll have to figure out if it is worth using the Razor in lieu of an Order cruiser turret.
LM is nice because it's has a good energy usage / damage ratio. And you can snipe with it from a long distance.
