I don't know if its been mentioned already, but why not have something like missile counter-measures that we have in real life. Chaff and flares to trick the missile to miss the target. Frigs would have an easy job of avoiding missiles because they are small and fast, so chaff (for radar guided) would throw the missile off. This obviously ties in with the sig radius.
I know defenders are like this, but defenders don't take into account the size, speed, and manuouverability of the ship that fired them.
Rather than make missiles act differently against small ships, make small ships more able to avoid them through active measures, rather than just being naturally better.
I've just outlined the idea, it could be looked at in much more detail.
*edit* Gah, pressed new topic rather than reply.....ah well

imho missles already have way too many countermeasures

Yes. Be nice if they worked relyably, but there we go.

Well I for one am all for throwing chavs in front of oncoming missiles.
Oh wait, I misread the first post...

Defenders are ok, but have an annoying habit of flying in the opposite direction of the incoming missiles, thanks to the missile interception... thingy. Looks like they're either running away or you have really, really bad aim. =/
I'm all for throwing chavs at missiles though. Oh, and in the game, too.

missile counter measures! u guys crazy? less dmg is traded for almost always hitting, pretty simple and sensical trade off...you want hybrid/proj/laser countermeasures?

check on market, look up, "ECM", "sensor dampener" and "tracking disruptor".
These all can counter a turret user... ECM and sensor damp can effect a missile users damage output but he'd just switch to FoF and continue shooting... Don't see a 1400mm howitzer load FoF though ...  . Tracking disruptor reduces tracking on a gun by about half with good skills, thats a disaster for a bs with the already bad tracking.
then for missiles we have... Defenders, a missile that shoots down other missiles, usefull for a ship that has launcher points, but there are ships out there that don't have those so what do they have for defense against missiles ?! Doesn't seem like there is anything else, oh wait whats this smartbomb, hmm must work against missiles, shame it uses so much cap and that it wouldn't work in empire (unless you really like to see eggs all the time). Anything else ? No ? gee maybe missiles could use one more countermeasure, seeing as turrets have 3 with 100% effectiveness and missiles have 1 100% effective and 2 somewhat effective...
My thought would be some ECM modules that only targets missiles and has a flat chance of jamming a missile, thereby taking it out of the game, maybe like 30% chance ? with a Rate of Fire of maybe 20 secs around the ship within 5000m? So an ECM burst just for missiles.

If only defender missles where effective as turret disruption.
