I think the only way i see this happening would be to make the missles
easer to shoot down, as the missles work right now they are too damn
effective to allow reloads.  The missles crusier in MT is currently the
only ship my group has used carring missles.  The favorite tactic of
this ship is too proceed at maxium speed to the nearest enemy captial
ship that you don't like, fire all the missles as close as you can get,
the go FTL.  This usually results in one cripiled dreadnought.
