Ever played Escape Velocity: Override? In the storyline, the baddie aliens that humanity's been fighting has superior gun technology— their energy cannons deliver greater destructive power than human energy guns. Trouble for the baddies, though, was that they were, you know, guns. The human fleets developed a high-impact seeking missile that allowed human carriers to stand off at a safe distance and lob a continual stream of hunter missiles with near-impunity at the bad guys, giving the humans enough of an edge to stave off an overwhelming defeat.
