I'm just testing this out before reading this thread.
I got an omen and centurion. They seemed like they'd make great escorts. I'm also using a mora for flagship. In simulation against the capital carrier, the seven slotted one, those nine rockets never seem to be hindered by the escorts. It's a bad scenario obviously and would need to be disengaged from battle asap, but I'd like to see the centurion trail behind the mora in retreat and soak up rockets with damper. The omen uses up its shock on the kinetic missiles fired from the carrier and rarely gets nearer to the tracking rockets to zap those. In retreat it might neutralize more of them.
