Thank you very much for your feedback and for your FAQ posted at
WWW.GAMEFAQ.com! I have n't read all of it because I want to finish the game at least once without spoilers. No matter, I guess the missile specialization is still not worth taking, having played the game for 12 hours and having read your comments.
The lasers are, as usual, the weapons of choice even for pilots with low gunnery skills. Even though I love lasers but I think it's not fair for the other weapon specializations so I hope this imbalance will be considered by the devs while making the expansion and Star wolves 4.
