Big, if you do a scan on her Defender later in the game you'll see it's Hardpoints are loaded with weapons and Sheilds that would be theoretically impossible for a normal defender to mount...plus the fin just looks real cool.

Missiles are a waste of money IMO, but YMMV.

I've found one good use for them, on the 6-gun HF that don't have a lot of 'gun juice': EMP Missiles.

When you see the bogies coming head-on to you, pop a couple EMP's and they arrive sans shields.
They can't countermeasure them. Missiles have a further range than any guns, gives you a way to
hurt them from a distance as you close. Del Cid anti-shield w/o energy use. Good for Freighters, too.
