Why do people keep saying the missiles suck?

Missiles are useful enough, but I think that the highest generation of missiles (Cannonball, Firestalker, Paralyzer, Sunslayer) as well as the two strongest mines (Ripper and whatever that other 6,000+ one was) are a bit overpriced. Spending six to eight thousand to kill one NPC is not really worth it unless the NPC is a high enough level to drop at least a level 6 gun as loot. I think the highest-level missiles should cost about half as much.

the 'playing chicken' tactic is very good when used with sunslayers. It can take out anything with one torp, and is nearly unaviodable when your going straight for your enemy (playing chicken)

I recently found missiles really useful on freighters. Go try a full missile launchers + shield zapping turrets loadout. Even a humble Rhino with 3x Slingshot missile launchers and 4x Stunpulse turrets is quite survivable and I have no problem taking on the Corsairs and Hessians in the upper Omega systems. I can even kill Legionnaires on the first pass more often than not.

A Dromedary with 3x Catapult missile launchers and 3x Debilitator turrets is just lethal.
