It used to be quite bad. If ever there came a 6 missile boat everyone and their mothers were on it in an instant. No matter how many of your pack went down, but that missile boat was in fight of his life for sure. And it was never allowed escape or any chance to RP it's way out of the situation. Although the 6 missileboaters were not exactly in the server for the RP experience. :angry2:
2 missiles can be pretty bad for a guy who fails at evading. Sure they eat a lot of energy, but if the missile boat is only spamming missiles then you don't care about them draining energy.
A hint there. Try grouping 1 pulse and 1 missile and get a real nasty surprise on the fighters/bombers.
