RE: Missile counter measures.

I agree with that myself.  
Although I did sort of rewrote the missile rules for my HH to accent the
range difference between energy & missile armaments.  Due to the way the
conversion worked, I dispensed with the d6 missile roll (partly to allow
partial salvoes); as between countermissiles (36" range PDS), multiple
turn
vector movement & missiles striking the ships' wedge, they became LESS
effective than standard FB rules.

I did think about adding decoy drones to the rules, but found it would
add
too much complexity without any real benefits.
