Depends on how many millions more in damage if might have done if it had gotten through.

If you are the one in the line of fire, I doubt if $cost is an important factor to you.

Yep cost prohibitive. Since its is only a $10k missile its best to just let it hit the ship. After all, what damage could such a cheap missile do against a billion dollar ship? $10K would just be a damaged paint chip on such an expensive ship. Paint is cheap and it gives the crew something to do beautifying the ship. Gotta keep up appearances, you know.

Cost in not an issue if the drone is heading toward you.
