Missiles are guided projectiles: they do damage upon impacting a target, oftentimes much more than any conventional weapon of a similar Tech Level could do. Missiles are therefore a good choice for players looking to increase their damage throughput, albeit a sometimes expensive one.

To use Missiles, a player must have a Missile Launcher equipped and an appropriate Ammo Crate in their inventory. Ammo Crates Type I through III can be opened to yield either 10, 25, or 50 missiles, respectively.

Missiles will attempt to fly towards whatever target was selected when the Missile was launched. They can be destroyed or knocked off course just like ships can, but some (if not all, needs checking) Missiles contain an inbuilt Missile Stabilizer reducing effect of concussions by %50.

Most Missiles have Resistances to Mining(75%) and Radiation(100%) damage and a vulnerability to Physical(200%) damage.

Lore

Missiles are rumored to have been invented when a Zebucart decided to ram a Fly at flank speed, destroying both ships instantly. While the people of Hyperion claim to be the aficionados on missile technology, that Zebucart was the pioneer. After the incident, researchers began investigating the possible uses of flinging several tons of metal at another object while travelling at near relativistic speeds. Initial results were promising, as it was discovered that all test subjects were reduced to carbon wisps. However, researchers denounced the technology, claiming that it was too expensive since the missiles had to withstand the harshness of space and also propel themselves to the target. This obstacle was overcome when a valiant undergrad intern decided to pack several hundred pounds of C4 into the back of a cylinder made of reinforced graphite. The resultant explosion annihilated his home planet, but the information he gathered proved invaluable. In any case, missile launchers advanced to the point where they could use anti-matter accelerators in order to propel the missiles. The missiles then only need attitude thrusters for control, reducing costs exponentially. Since then, missile technology has exploded, and the field continues to grow with each passing year.
