Ironically by SotS game mechanics it would take a salvo of biblical proportions to take out an entire Hiver fleet led by a dreadnought with only planetary fusion missiles, and the humans were using primarily fission missiles. It also means the hivers sorely neglected any sort of point defense systems, as any half decent PD grid would have removed a large chunk of the missiles.
