Missiles

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 in their inventory. The launcher cannot be higher tech than the ship, and any missiles the player wishes to use cannot be higher tech than the launcher.

To use missiles, you must target an enemy and use the missile, the missiles launched will then fly at their target (or will fly around you if they cannot see the target) and attempt to hit them, if the enemy leaves the star system or is killed, the remaining missiles will self destruct. They can also be shot down from enemy fire before reaching their target, and will despawn if they reach the end of their lifespan.

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