If you miss, you won't deal normal dice damage (since any hits/crits were cancelled, if you even got any), but it still counts as a hit. This has two effects:

1) Any special "if this attack hits" effects of the weapon still propogate.  For example, Ion Pulse Missiles will deal a damage and ionize the target.  Harpoon Missiles will give the target the "Harpooned!" condition.

2) If the target has Stealth Device, they lose it because they were hit by an attack (even a primary weapon attack that dealt no damage).
