I don't think so. Ramming spacecraft use piloting skill even if they're autonomous drones launched from a carrier. Skill of carrier's crew has nothing to do with it AFAICT. Missiles use skill of gunner on launching craft.

This is a pretty big deal at high TLs. At TL 10, 32cm+ missiles have sAcc +3, which under the rapid fire rules is as good as firing x8 as many missiles when you're trying to overwhelm point defense.
