issue: Q16: (MinnieME2) With the upcoming missiles changes, why was it suggested to give all missiles such a high range wouldn't an optimalburn time(similar to optimal range) with a falloff burn time be a better choiceto limit missile's range?

I always thought it was weird that one of the biggest missiles in the game (cruise) is also one of the best vs. fast ships like inties, whereas standard missiles for frigates are too slow to hit an inty, or even most frigs with MWD. Kinda spoils the whole point of weapon size determining target type, ie using small ships and weapons to take out other small ships.
