As you can read in the ships and modules forum, there are plans of changing missiles and their launchers. As the plans are now the Cruisers will loose their torpedo's and cruise missiles.
Some lvl 3 agent missions involve fighting two MOA cruisers or other difficult pirates. Will those pirates also loose their torpedo's and cruise?
This change will bring longer fights in my opinion and the use of turrets will become more important then ever. The slow rate of missile fire vs damage output will not be as good as 4 times the damage output of 250 mm hybrids or blasters. Some are afraid that they no longer can fullfill a lvl 3 agent mission if they have no battleship.
What is your opinion?

I've been doing level 3 kill missions in a thorax for at least 6 months. I have agents with effective quality of 53 (built up from 37). And I'm not combat orientated. Whilst I can't speak with complete assurity(sp?) I'm sure alternate layouts on ships other than a thorax will continue to allow level three missions to be comfortably completed in a cruiser. (My shield hardly ever goes below 50% now, and that's against 4 rogue pirate escorts and a thief.)

I've been doing agent missions in a Bellicose cruiser for months. Yes it has launchers but I don't use cruise or torps, too expensive. I do use heavy missiles sometimes to speed things up but often I don't. Cruisers will still be able to use heavies so it will make no difference at all to me for these missions.
BTW, most times I don't use the missiles. 3x 720s, a MWD and a shield booster have been more than sufficient for all the missions.

I do lvl 3 missions in a caracal with heavy missiles only.
No problems so far except it can get close against inferno's.
The new missile speeds may force me to rethink my defenses a bit ... or maybe not because my own will be hitting faster as well
Overall i think the change may make things more exiting across the board .. and i say this as a caldari
