Strike Missiles have a medium range but a high damage. Their damage per second is better than the damage of any forsaken weapons besides Cutlass IV but it has a better damage wheight ratio than it. With Solid Fuel Booster all of them but the N version have range of 86 allowing it to outrange any salvage fleet weapon. This makes it good to use for your salvaging fleet as you do not take any damage if you can dodge the mortars.
