Is the animation for anti-missile missiles a placeholder? I was just a little surprised to see grey lines come out of my ship like coil gun fire when I was expecting to see actual missiles.
Also, I kind of figured they would have a similar range to actual missiles. Something you could fire to intercept enemy missiles at long range. My escort cruiser had to enter normal PD laser range to fire the anti-missiles so I don't see a real advantage to having them since they have limited ordnance that other forms of PD don't have to worry about.
