Another possibility would be to go the "low-tech" route by halving
missile
effectiveness and doubling the number you can carry/launch:

Mini-missiles:	Mass - 1,  Cost - 3.	Does 1d6 damage.
(you might also want to give it only a 2-turn life)

Thus you overwhelm the target's defenses. Some missiles get through but
do
less damage.

Just another idea,
