By the way--the rules on my site are Official Beta Test, not just something I dreamed up (in fact, Zoe Brain was IIRC the originator). The Playtest List would like to hear any feedback you have. 

I predict, though, that you'll find the HMs feel more like launching a couple of Exocets instead of the "six HUNDRED missiles" that Weber is enamoured of. For those, I'd be inclined to:
a) use salvo missiles
b) have SMs move AFTER ships, so they can pick targets
c) give each ship a few ECM "beam dice" which would reduce all missile lockons that turn, and perhaps a few ships would get a smaller number of ECCM to reduce the effect of ECM.
d) perhaps beef up the PDS ability to hit the missiles, to offset the fact that SMs can more easily hit their targets.
