The Possible Upcoming SolutionÖ
(ripped from EVE-DB)

New Bonuses
Raven - 5% Cruise Missile Damage and 5% Launcher ROF per level.
Scorpion - 5% Cruise Missile Damage and 5% Shields per level.

Missile Changes
Cruise Missile - 3,000m/s
Heavy Missile - 2,500m/s
Light Missile - 2,000m/s

(Hopefully missiles will become a LOT cheaper..)

Altered Skills
Standard Missiles - 5% Standard Missile Velocity (light/heavy/cruise)
Heavy Missiles - 5% Standard Missile Velocity (light/heavy/cruise)
Cruise Missiles - 5% Standard Missile Velocity (light/heavy/cruise)

New Skills
Missile Bombardment - 5% Flight time per level.
Missile Guidance - 5% Agility per level.
Missile Navigation - 5% Velocity per level.

Conclusion
Missiles get a lot faster, they get their agility changed so they don't function very well at short range (slow and sluggish at short range), but function very well at longer range (very agile at at full velocity). They have the ability to hit targets far away, you actually have to train a lot of skills to make missiles effective now.

Caldari become the best with missiles, as they do the most damage with them but everyone gets functional missiles now, as far as range is concerned. Minmatar do not become imbalanced offensively because they will now do less damage with missiles than a Caldari ship, yet they are still a lot better with turrets than Caldari.

Anyways I think this is the best solution, hopefully these changes will go live.

Sorry but I think frigates should be able to be hit by cruises/torps - if they don't want to be hit my missiles they should use defenders like the rest of us.

You can fit 13 defenders in an assault launcher and pile out a crapload of them very quickly.

Last I checked you could fit 3, and 12 in a standard launcher (14 in a arbalest standard)
