Is there a way to create flares or chaff that will attract missiles already in flight away from the player?

No this feature has been removed from the EVN engine, however, you can create a chaff cannon (point defense of course) using submunitions that can achieve a very cool effect.

I believe it was removed because Matt considered it outdated by the new PD function.

Actually, it was removed because Matt wanted to confuse spl_cadet.

Also the original system never worked that well, EV, EVO lacked the ability to 'launch' the decoy, they could only 'drop' it. This frequently preevnted any but the fastest of ship from using it effectively. Usually by the time the player could afford a decoy system, they were using a ship to big/slow to use it.
Look for the closest possible thing to a chaft system in my upcomming plug; "The Nova Expansion Project"
