Directional Missiles + Hotkeys

[madman]

Right now missiles are very hard to fire if you're also firing the laser... hotkey (qwerty) would make that job alot easier and also won't ruin the experience :)
Also broadsides + missiles = fail... if you could fire missiles in any direction you want that could be fixed... there's yamato for only forward and you could also add torpedoes:

missiles : weaker ( not necessarily weaker than they are at the moment but weaker than torpedoes ) , directional ( used often )
torpedoes : stronger , only forward ( lower number , maybe cooldown ? , also a lot more expensive and slower - easily dodged by smaller ships )

Actually i think it's more like this, torpedoes: semi to non-guided heavy missiles(more payload for less tracking/engines).
Missiles: Good turn rate, not very good damage.
Semi-missiles: Like now.
