The profile pic is pretty old - it's the original Conquest.
yeah.. i honestly think guided missiles shouldn't collide with husks, debris and asteroids (or even instead try to maneuver around them, if that's preferable). it just feels bad when a weapon you can't really aim yourself loses a potentially large part of its effectiveness more or less randomly, even without battleship-sized debris obstructing line of sight. 1 or 2 Hurricanes going into an asteroid rather than the target is a big deal.
Hmm - for Pilums, you're rarely relying on a specific one to hit, so it's not as big a deal. For other missiles, their trajectories are predictable to a point, and minimizing the risk of them running into asteroids or debris is part of the skill involved in using them. I think it's actually pretty important.
