I used to have the interceptor look much better. One by one, all my missiles look worse.
The only 2 ones still looking decent are the Hornet and Stilleto
The Harpoon and Stilleto

The Infryno had little bomblets on the sides and looked awesome.

Maybe it's something to do with your using that particular screen resolution? Last I heard, there were still a few problems with using the non-standard resolutions.

There's only a few high-poly missiles in the Media VP's, as I recall, so when you've got model view turned on for weapon selection, you're going to see mostly the original, ultra-low-poly missiles.  When model view is turned off for weapon selection (or, when you're selecting primary weapons), you're seeing a prerendered animation, rather than an actual model, included with the game.

Aha!
I forgot about that!
What we really need are Cyclops HTL models since you see a lot of them up close when flying intercept.

How do I enable "View Ship model" but not allow missile models to be viewed?

AFAIK, you don't.  Learn to model & create some HTL missiles & bombs for us!!  ;)
