 MISS. Why? Because it's striking zone covers every inch of the table, 
 that's why. I could probably do it with even less points, if I bothered

 to calculate spreads from slightly bigger launcher ships.

Our "house rule" is that missiles that fly through dust clouds and
nebulae
automatically lose their lock on and are effectively destroyed.  The way
I've
constructed my space "terrain" board, there are sufficient clumps of
clouds
to make missile firing speedboats an ineffective way to go, unless
supported
by the gun-carriers.
