General Discussion / Missiles

Alright, so i'm a huge missile fan. I love slapping some LRM racks or MIRVs on my flagship... i just think missiles are freaking awesome in space games. I can't help but feel they're a little underpowered though, especially LRMs. Even against cruisers and stuff, LRMs are normally easily dodged by simply moving in a straight line, or harmlessly eaten by the shields. I personally feel that missiles are due a tracking upgrade all across the board. Or at least if the purpose of LRMs is to go after capital ships, have them only seek capital ships. I also think it'd be cool to have a (large) missile that partially penetrated shields. Maybe called a plasma tipped missile or something. Anyway, what do you guys think about missiles?
Edit: I'd also like to point out that missiles have, by far, the lowest ammunition on average of any weapons in the game. This doesn't make a lot of sense to me considering there are other limited ammo weapons that are much more reliable at hitting and destroying your enemy.
