If you save enough fuel for the terminal stage, you can get nearly unlimited range. As long as you're patient enough to wait for the missile to get there, it'll hit.

Yes, you can obviously see how dead useless they are :rollseyes:
This weapon system is a great argument against large capital ships

you need better missiles man... that thing has a pretty useless payload for its mass looks like your main issue is that missiles engine, its a total piece of **** I mean look at my missiles, its got 3x the payload mass in at half the price and double the armour also large potassium disks are the best flack if you want high mass particles to penetrate stuff with I see that your engine is smaller than mine, but based on your fuel usage rate, it -has- to be heavier. A pump that tiny has to be spun a lot faster to move the same fuel flow (your burn duration is only slightly longer than mine for the same fuel mass, so your mass flow is only slightly less than mine). What does that engine weigh? mine comes in at ~3 kg. EDIT: I was wrong about my engine burn, this one is the 10s version (thought it was 20)

Here we go, some some inspiration from that narrow as hell engine: swapped my impeller for a lithium one, shrank it and sped it up until it weighed the same and kept my mass flow where I wanted it, made the bell smaller and narrower, threw out all the fuel and cranked the reaction rate up to 11. got an extra 300 m/s out of the exhaust in exchange for a smaller, lighter engine that needs less armor.
