http://mail.csua.berkeley.edu:8080/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lMT missles were
like the mass distruction weapons in FB1 - FB2. I think the fact I'm
throwin a 2 mass missle at you and 4+ kills it without even sweatin,
dispite the fact I can't use the PDAF to shoot at a ship. The salvo
missles are 1/6 mass each and aren't capible  
obsorbing damage. I like the rules in More Thrust stating all defensive
fire requires 6+ to kill it. Also most people use a modified roll
against salvo missles making them even stronger.

Eh. No. You're thinking of the More Thrust rules, but FB1 changed that
more than ten years ago.

So:

The More Thrust PDAF and "C" batteries needed a '6' to kill MT missiles.
(There were no "PDS" in More Thrust, BTW.)

The FB1 PDS needs a '4' or better to kill any missile, including an MT
one. FB1 Class 1 batteries need a '5' or better. A Fleet Book 2
scattergun kills an MT missile automatically, since it can't roll less
than "1" on 1D6.

***
FWIW the Mass-3 missile sponges are themselves surprisingly vulnerable
to long-range beam fire (or suicide strikes from other small ships)...
and MT missiles ignore them entirely, since unlike SMs an MTM (or HM,
using the beta-test terminology) doesn't have to attack the closest
target.
