Missiles are a gun-mounted, self-propelled projectile weapon. Since these weapons use gun hard-points, they are typically only mounted on Fighters and Freighters with the appropriate hard-point (they can also be mounted on capital ship forward gun hard points of the same class, but that is not a common setup).

Missiles explode when they hit their target, or when they reach the end of their life. Explosion damage does Direct damage to everything within the explosion radius. This includes any unshielded equipment, such as the target's guns and support equipment, but also includes the attacker if he gets too close.

Missiles can be detonated by Cruise Disruptors and other missiles, and can be led off-target by Countermeasures, pushed off-target by Battleship Flak Turrets, and can also be evaded with defensive maneuvers.

Missiles are physical-form weapons and so are limited to a certain amount of rounds that a ship can carry. For safety reasons, 70 is the maximum quantity that any dockmaster will load onto your ship at any one time of a particular missile type.

Missiles are faster than Torpedoes but do far less damage.
