There are three differences between Starfire and Full Thrust missiles:

1) FT missiles are single-shot, SF missiles aren't
2) FT missiles are pretty hard to intercept, while SF point defences are
   very effective
3) A single FT missile causes massive damage; a single SF missile...
doesn't.

You play at Starfire too low tech levels, though... We have just cut
down
the damage potential of the best high-tech missiles because they were 
too good - when a single missile hit could cause up to 15 damage points,

they outclassed beams at all ranges :( After the damage reductions, the 
same missile "only" ccauses 9 points of damage. Still enough to hurt, 
though <g>
