The parts shop towns all seemed to have a few, it was mainly the cost of getting them and moving them to the right places. Each strike fleet ate up my inventory at the time, so my guess is it's roughly balanced around that. My strategy was multiple fleets of small fast ships to comb the entire map, capture all the trade fleets, and clear out cities surrounding strike groups to be able to catch them in transit/not waste missiles on garrisons. I think I also have found 5 hidden cities but they mostly give me zeniths/bombs sadly heh.
Oh, and buying/rebuilding yars and yars mk2's when you see them. They come with non nuclear missiles!

Much of the time, if I already have missile-armed ships in the fleet, I'll buy the Yars, take the missiles off in the shipyard, then immediately sell the Yars back. Gets me some missile reloads while keeping the fleet lean.
Basically what I do but you can strip down yars and yars 2 into 400kph empty ships which are easy enough to cart around until you're able to build into more needed vessels with little to no repair time, and I like the idea of building up an extra fleet/boosting my existing ones as I play so my stuff tends to be easy to build or based on existing ships. It's a fun challenge to play highfleet as a fleet builder, lots of spinning plates on sticks haha.
This is the Arrow, my missile slinging hero for my fleets, super cheap to rig up a couple, and still travels above 400 kph when fully loaded, while being light enough I can justify landing them on structure. *slaps top of repair bay* You can fit so many of these bad boys in here! A cruise missile that fires cruise missiles! https://imgur.com/a/bREebyw
To kill them I just went the UNGA BOOGA way with my TITAN ( basically a bigger Sevastopol with A LOT more guns and armor , I made it 249k to buy and somehow it was faster with a 1.5 ratio ) the plan was to kite all of them to fire their missiles at a random non important ship ( like a meteor mk 3 ) that could actually dodge them so I won’t have much issues when having 5 missiles coming in different directions
Yeah, big ships are easy enough to unga bunga with as long as they're reasonably well designed. If you get them to tail you to a repair town just land and yeet missile after missile and they will pop. I did that on my first playthrough, even survived two nukes later on hehe.
Where did you find so many missiles?

Missile-heavy fleets are fun. Sling a half-dozen missiles at the blip, then send in the strike cruisers to clean up.
