Depends on how your physics work - but a missile to blow up a planetary
installation doesn't usually need to worry about the target
manoeuvreing, for example, so it can carry a bigger warhead rather than
a more sophisticated seeker.

Similarly, since most FT spacecraft don't enter atmosphere, a craft
designed to take them out won't devote all that mass and design
compromise to streamlining...
