A quick google tells me Muse is right to use both steampunk and dieselpunk to describe GoI, as the world is in transition from steam to diesel since the shared war between the two genres, a WWI-like conflict, is indefinite. The open cockpit air plane designs are definitely reminiscent of Galileo's flying machines and while technically heavier than air they put a great focus on Victorian design rather than anything we associate heavily with the 20's. The world seems to be angsting over that transition as well given what I saw in the original GoI demo. Themes of both are abound, but that "transition" never really finishes and while there's all sorts of "new" stuff being made all the time it never really propels itself into our modern world no matter how much time passes.
Can certainly agree that homing missiles don't detract enough from the setting to warrant passing up a good mechanic. It's not like there's gilded robots walking the decks.

So what makes the Artemis unique? Low damage, large AOE range? If you can hit, you damage most/all the components on a ship a little bit? Makes it so that, at range, the Artemis is decent at disabiling, but close up the Flak's higher DPS is straight up better?

A word of support of the artemis. I find it very useful as the front gun of my Junker. It has fantastic turn arc and so as I fly in, a few accurate shots can disable enemy guns and as the gat flaks open up, the artemis can continue to compliment. As others have said, it also helps for pursuits.

Sadly, they were ineffective.

If the next update doesn't strap pigeons to artemis rockets I'm ragequitting. And you all should too.

The next update is going to bring a plethora of incredibly exciting things, but unfortunately that's not one of them :P
