The big problem with Agent 4 missions is that some of them take a long time to complete. Sure, some of them are very quick but there are one or two that just take me longer than I was planning on spending playing because I was planning on getting to bed at a sensible time. With the missile changes this is just going to get worse.
As an experiment I tried a mission as (I think) it would be with the missile changes. Using a Raven and several passes with refitting inbetween I warped in and used small missiles on the frigates, then tried heavy missiles on the cruisers. This was far too slow so I went back for cruise missiles and finished them off. After that I torpedoed the battleships and then made a final pass in my Badger2 in order to collect all of the loot. Well it works as a technique, but it is slow. I don't know what cruise missiles are going to be like against Cruisers but heavies are just too slow when you've got a fleet of ~100k Moas pounding away at you. I guess I need to finish off level 5 of a few more missile types.
