Well, in PP you can be nasty as the missiles move in two phases over 
two turns so you can be *really* evil and land two turns of missile 
salvos in a single round on the same target!!!

As most escorts have 2 to 10 structure boxes, and a nuke battery does 
damage (against a typical ship on a 4,5,6 (6= 2 points and re-roll), 8 
hits is pretty nasty. Unless you've point defense (which is less 
effective than FT), sand and nuclear dampers deployed.

Nukes are dead good until you meet a target with good dampers. Or meson 
guns ;-)

Cheers,
