Watching my battles on the battle viewer (which seems very poorly done) it doesn't always seem my ships fire all the missiles. I make big ships packed to the gills with weapons, but it looks like they will sometimes shoot 2-3 missiles then other times they will fire 8. Has anyone else noticed this?
Also, why would my capital ships with long range missiles charge full speed into oncoming ships only to have to do a bunch of spins later? Just chill for a second and blast away. I thought fleet warfare was a big deal to them for this game. I hope they have better developed battles in an expansion. I'm imagining the space battle of endor on SW VI, fighters in the front capital ships (being still) in the back
