EMP Missile MK1

EMP missiles are especially effective against shields, which may come in useful if you need to knock down the shields of larger ships or stations quickly...or at least more quickly. Keep in mind, though, that it is pretty much useless against hull plating. Switch your EMP missiles out for a different missile type after the shields are no longer a problem!

Ships and stations are equipped with Dumbfire, Tracker or Torpedo Launchers and use missiles to fire at enemies for heavy damage. Cluster launching (??? - Cluster missiles don't presently seem to differ from Dumbfire. Detach= exists in the script, but simply refers to the heavy swarm missile macro - Arronicus). Tracker missiles home in on targets with EMP, Guided, Heatseeker, Smart and Swarm variants. EMP missiles will temporarily disable the engines of the target.(???Sentence explaining what the various sorts do). Torpedoes are slow-moving and easy to avoid projectiles but deal tremendous damage to targets they do hit making them effective at killing stations and large slow ships.
