Because missiles are usually most effective against bigger, slower targets, missile ships if fleets often find themselves in the "sniper" role — assigned to picking off specific targets (''such as logistics vessels'') in the enemy fleet. In small fleet encounters there may be few, if any, such targets, and the encounter may in fact be over before the missile ship's damage begins to matter. As a result, missile ships are most often found in larger fleets.<ref>There do exist doctrines for entire fleets of missile ships. Fleets of [[Stealth Bombers]], for example, are common, and there is even an E-UNI group, the [[UniBombers]], dedicated to this style of combat.</ref>
