I cannot shoot down any ship with only guns. I just can't. I suck that bad with guns. That's why I use Sidewinder. And I spam Nukes. And then I started winning fights. I enjoy winning them as long as those were close fights.
I do not enjoy being missile spammed by more than 3 ships when I have ZERO chance of fighting back or even escaping.
Being bad with guns, I can still claim that missiles are ruining the fun for more people than they grant fun.
And to those who are defending how missiles are OK, I challenge you to participate in group fight where your foes use missiles and you don't. Only then will you understand the extent of missile damage to interactons.
