Well seeing as how right now it's literally impossible to evade a missile without moving twice as fast as it (which will become damn hard with the new propulsion changes), I'd have to disagree that missiles are underpowered. Sure you can't hit anything going faster than your missiles, but only if that thing is moving directly away from you, and if it is that means he can't hit you either. The second he turns around the missiles will paste him across the stars, and all you had to do was fire a few and wait.
On top of this every missile hit is comparable to a wrecking hit with a comparable turret. For torps every torp that hits does what? 550 damage at least with good skills? If only my turrets hit for 550 damage a shot. A Raven at close range is devastating without smartbombs.

Damage type flexibility with missiles is a huge advantage, even projectiles don't have the same flexibility. You have 4 missile types that do 100% specialized damage each. Even with projectiles to do EM damage you need to waste almost half on explosive, to do Thermal damage you need to do a good portion of kinetic too.
No, missiles are not underpowered thank you very much.
