Just checked it, and Mark 4 protons are level 9 ship equip.
level 9 and 10 are master level equip.
So, yes, he is talking entirely about master level missles.
My mistake, then. 
But, right now, on our server anyway, no decent High Grade Polymetric Radioactive (the specific resource needed for mark3 and up missiles) has spawned yet. But, with good poly radio, when it spawns, you should be able to easily hit 7k to 8k damage, maybe even more, as well as get more shots per pack on Mark III missiles.
As far as the missiles not getting a solid hit on maneuverable targets, it is more realistic. But, more than that, different types of missiles react different ways.
For instance, concussion missiles *aren't supposed to directly hit the target*. They blow next to it. Also, it has become more possible to dodge a missile, and the AI has this capability also. So, obviously, it will be harder to damage more maneuverable ships.
Also, that AI has become alot more efficient at firing their countermeasures. So, if you don't notice much damage, more than likely they got their countermeasure off.

Here's how they're working...
When you ever get lock on an enemy you can fire your missle at them and do about 1 blaster shot worth of damage.
The NPC's can instantly lock onto you and fire thier missles which will down your shields in two shots.
I guess my 4000-8000 damage 1.02 to shield missiles must be a figment of my imagination or I have yet to come across that blaster you have. I can take an NPC shield out in 2 shots with mine easy.
Thank you. My mk4 protons are 9700 damage, and my spacebombs are 21,000 damage.
They feel it....
Yea I have 28K Damage space bombs, Shot one agasint the Corvette Shields and took it down 35% shot it against a gunboat at less then 200M and it did 1% damage...... /shrug
Yes, remember, on some ship, gunboats especially, you need to take the shields down some before you can start damaging components. The Vette has the guns and components more out in the open than gunboats.
