Basically there are two way of dealing with this:

1) Shoot them down before they hit you.

Tricky. PDAF and ADAF are almost useless for this sort of thing.
(although you might be able to do something with a swarm of escorts
mounting ADAFs - probably not cost effective though)
Nova Cannon's and Wave Guns could be far more effective, but not
without drawbacks.

2) Move out of the way.

Difficult for bases, but ships have a chance. This should also included
FTL and cloaking.

You could also experiment with house rules to make missiles less deadly,
or easier to shoot down. eg allow B and C bats to shoot missiles.

Alun.
