So what is the counter to carriers and/or metric tonnes of missiles?

Arioch, thank you very much. One day this great game will have a wiki, where all bits and pieces of the forum wisdom could be dumped.

I think it would be of great use to add this somewhere into the game - either the tech or the ship weapon information.

Is there any chance that you could add missile/strikecraft HP to the UI otherwise its difficult to figure out how it stacks up against points defense.

Also I was sure that torpedoes had more than 2 times the health of missiles. They are just so tanky compared to missiles

I'll make a note of it.

Hmm...so is it more important for PD to have high Accuracy or high Damage? How do I decide between Laser and Coilgun PD in the beginning?

I'd say accuracy is more important, because a PD shot that hits but doesn't destroy the target at least damages it, while a shot that misses does nothing.

This is generally why I use laser or turbolaser pd with rapid fire, more chances to get a hit. Primary pd at one point had a huge modifier for how many guns in a mount, it was really too much.
