Actually, at least two of the four total gunships had missiles. You can pick through the evidence at your leisure, but suffice to say that I'm pretty much done with trying to uphold any standards on my end of things after seeing this. CR| aren't the only offender - about the only non-indie tagged thing I saw there showing any sort of reticence to pile on was a 5th| fleet player - but you're certainly the biggest one.
Take a look here and here, then you can give me whatever half-baked justifications you've decided to come up with today. FYI, though, you can expect similar treatment if you run into GRN| in future - that's something I can promise you.
