My own playtesting indicates much along the same lines.
A really good SM player can get more out of SMs than MT missiles, but
it's very difficult indeed, and requires a co-operative opponent.
Otherwise
the MT missiles are too effective in comparison.

Maybe Class 1's should hit em on a 5 or 6.
Maybe they should be Mass 3 vs Mass 2 (in a pod) or Mass 2 (from
a Mass-2 launcher).

Maybe they should do 3D6 and cost the same as an SM.
