I think there ok too.Fleet stratagists should change their plans, if
your 
opponent uses high thrust lurk your fleet with its missile boats near a 
table edge(either he comes at you slower or he looses his fleet to the
'off
table void') Slower fleets who get hammered use missiles back!

My ammendment for missiles and fighters against 'screened ships':-0

If at the end of their movement a missile or fighter grp has moved
passed 
a 'screening ship' towards its target ,and said ship is now in the
missile
/fighters effective rear arc then any PDF or ADF from the ship gets an 
additional attack.(C bat also if still permitted) against the missile/
fighters before they do (chance for destruction increased!)

What do you all say?
