Now you have to decide if you wish to paint it, if so, paint your parts how you see fit, then re-assemble with glue.

Yes exactly, the fact that they can get shot down is another major downside, but the problem with missiles is that PD is not good enough to stop them. One nerf to missiles for the fleet would be making Missile Specialization (and Systems Expertise) rarer across the board for NPCs. However, another thing is that PD is very underpowered, and I know you disagree on this, but it's just generally really useless with a few exceptions since it doesn't actually stop missiles.

According to general wisdom, NERF stands for Non-Expanding Recreational Foam, for the original foam padding used in off-road racing.

I say there's too many missiles at the moment and it's not uncommon for missiles to last the entirety of the battle, with plenty to spare. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. But as it is now, it just seems like missiles are a fundamental and important part of most ship builds, while PD is more or less a niche for some low-tech ships.The final try is a secondary rocket motor inside the missile that’s triggered by a micro switch upon leaving the standard NERF launcher. The pipe will be too thick to fit into the slot, so you use a dremel with a sanding drum to thin out the pipe in the slotted section so that it will slide into the nerf tactical rail.
