Ship launches 2 missiles in salvo

Blast radius - damage fall-off lineary to 0 from explosion center.
Missile types: D - Dumbfire, G - Selfguided, R - Remote controlled.
All guided missiles have the attribute "retarget". That means if the current target is destroyed, the missile will start tracking nearest enemy.

Missile in flight can be destroyed by weapons. Some fighters may damage themself by launching missile and immediately detonating it with own or other weapons fire. Skunk missiles may detonate near Skunk if launched while under enemy fire.

Interesting thing is that missiles can't damage cargo containers (not crates!) and asteroids.

Note that even homing missiles will often miss their target repeatedly, when fired against a skilled pilot, due to extreme fighter maneuverability and their ability to boost.
