I write what i saw when I did the tests.
Explanation - missles are explosive - damage is very high on the hull of any fighter.All fighters even the bigest are relatively small ships - so thats why missles do so much % of dmg.
I think that they do more like % dmg on all fighters , than the number written.I don't know how to explaing it any other way. The authors of the game have decided so...
"Comm. Adama:
-Starbuck whadda 'ya hear?
Starbuck:
-Nothing but the rain sir!
Comm. Adama:
-Then grab your gun and bring in the cat!
Starbuck:
-Boom , boom , boom!"
