Missiles types
- Dumbfire missiles fired by Dumbfire Launchers (they just fly forward)
- Tracking missiles fired by Tracking Launchers (they home in on targets)
- Torpedoes, which also track, but are only fired by Torpedo Launchers
General notes
All launchers can fire both Light and Heavy versions of missiles
- Flares (a ship Consumable) work against all guided missiles and torpedoes except smart missiles.
- Only Tracking launchers can fire EMP missiles (they fly very fast and deactivate travel drives)
- We can pick what missiles are used by forward-mounted launchers (those shot from cockpits)
Missile Turret notes
- We cannot pick what missiles are fired by turrets
- We can set each turret to Armed/Disarmed states individually
- We can give each turret one of the following settings individually:
- Defend
- Attack All Enemies
- Attack Capital Ships (also attacked stations)
- Attack Fighters
- Mining
- Missile Defence
- Attack My Current Target
