How about adding one or two 'special' missiles, ecm, remote sensors, 
maybe a needle beamer, or some sort of penetration aid [is there 
something else we can call these ?] a la Honor Harrington ?

Hmm, penaids....

<proposal>
Replace two missiles in a salvo with ECM drones. Every PDS engaging 
that salvo suffer a -1 penalty to their die roll. Roll for the number 
of missiles that hit normally, except that any quantity of missile 
hits greater than 4 is reduced to 4 hits.  Replacing two regular 
missiles with penaids costs 5 points.
</proposal>

This could be changed to -1 per penaid in the salvo, but that would 
be a bit much. Or, -1 per two penaids would be good, it'd give a 
better chance of getting at least a few hits on a well protected 
target. I'm also not 100% sure about the points cost, but Oerjan will 
probbaly set me straight.

You may want to consider these for the HH rules.
