I severely doubt not being able to engaged in PvP for about 5k outside of SIX locations in the entire mod is breaking your gameplay experience.
These were added as a counter-measure to Capital Planet camping silliness that occurred in previous mod versions. RNC swarm over Manhattan perhaps being the most famous of the lot.

Agreed. There are only a small handful of locations that have these missiles, locations that unlawfuls should not be approaching so closely. Their range is only a few k.
We don't need to go back to Scyllas circling Manhattan.
Edit: Now jumpgates on the other hand most certainly do not deserve weaponry.
They don't track that well anyway. They're only deadly if you fly carelessly around a 3k radius of quarter of a cirlce in 6 locations in the entire map.
That's about a volume of about 169.65 [K^3] in the entire mod.
Hint - each system is about 15625000 [K^3] - and even if you take the 'played areas' it's about 1250000 [K^3]
So yes - if the enemy ran to the home capital planet and you are too afraid to take the risk and chase him - just leave it be!

Its pretty much encouraging such behavior. Flying around or even fighting at a planet was difficult even before, now its deadly.
