Did you try it using the Unified Fighter Proposal (including anti-ship 
weapons being able to shoot at missiles)? That's what I'm interested in:  a 
plain NSL fleet, no banzai jammers, no fighters, versus a  missile fleet.

> For a custom missile barge try

Yeah, that's about what I had in mind. You can squeeze in a couple more 
missiles, I expect, if you have Mass 104 or something similar.

That would be plausible, but most ships don't launch enough missiles for it 
to make a difference. This one would drop mass by 32, to 68. You'd get 
Thrust 4.
