Missiles skills

As might be guessed by the title, skills in this category deal with handling launched weapons, as opposed to direct-fire weaponry, or autonomous free-flying devices.

Base Skill: Missile Launcher Operation

Missile Launcher Operation (1x)

All missile skills are dependent upon this one. As such, it applies to all missile launching systems. It reduces launch times (increases rate of fire) by 2%/level.

Generic Missile skills

Between the two of them, Missile Bombardment and Missile Projection improve missile travel performance by up to half again compared to what an untrained missileer can do.

Missile Bombardment (2x)

• Requires Missile Launcher Operation I

increases maximum flight time for all missile types by 10% per level, thus increasing the effective range of missiles.

Guided Missile Precision (5x)

• Requires Missile Launcher Operation V

reduces signature radius factor by 5%/level for light, heavy, and cruise missile explosions, resulting in greater damage to small targets.

Missile Projection (4x)

• Requires Missile Launcher Operation III

adds 10%/level to missile maximum velocity.

Rapid Launch (2x)

• Requires Missile Launcher Operation II

adds a further 3%/level to rate of fire for missiles. Combined with Missile Launcher Operation, improves missile rate of fire by up to 26.5%. (bonuses multiply)

Target Navigation Prediction (2x)

• Requires Missile Launcher Operation II

decreases by 10%/level the target's velocity factor in explosion damage from missiles, resulting in greater damage to fast targets.

Warhead Upgrades (5x)

• Requires Missile Launcher Operation IV

increases all missile damage by 2%/level

Defender Missiles (2x)

• Requires Missile Launcher Operation II

increases maximum velocity of defender missiles by 5%/level.

FoF Missiles (3x)

• Requires Missile Launcher Operation II

increases damage from all varieties of Friend-or-foe missile by 5%/level.

Specific missile skills

These fall into two categories:

• the basic level, increasing damage dealt (5%/level)
• the specialization level, increasing rate of fire of Tech 2 equipment by 2%/level.

Light and standard armaments

Rockets (1x)

• Requires Missile Launcher Operation I

+5%/level to Rocket damage.

Rocket Specialization (3x)

• Requires Rockets V

+2%/level to rate of fire of modules requiring rocket specialization (Rocket Launcher II).

Standard Missiles (2x)

• Requires Missile Launcher Operation II

+5%/level to damage done by standard missiles

Standard Missile Specialization (3x)

• Requires Standard Missiles V

+2%/level to rate of fire of modules requiring standard missile specialization (Standard Missile Launcher II).

Cruiser armaments

Heavy Assault Missiles (3x)

• Requires Standard Missiles III

+5%/level to damage done by heavy assault missiles

Heavy Assault Missile Specialization (5x)

• Requires Heavy Assault Missiles V

+2%/level to rate of fire of modules requiring heavy assault missile specialization (Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II).

Heavy Missiles (3x)

• Requires Standard Missiles III

+5%/level to damage done by heavy missiles

Heavy Missile Specialization (5x)

• Requires Heavy Missiles V

+2%/level to rate of fire of modules requiring heavy missile specialization (Heavy Missile Launcher II).

Battleship armaments

Torpedoes (4x)

• Requires Heavy Missiles III

+5%/level to damage done by torpedos

Torpedo Specialization (8x)

• Requires Torpedoes V

+2%/level to rate of fire of modules requiring Torpedos specialization (Siege Missile Launcher II).

Cruise Missiles (5x)

• Requires Heavy Missiles III

+5%/level to damage done by cruise missiles

Cruise Missile Specialization (5x)

• Requires Cruise Missiles V

+2%/level to rate of fire of modules requiring cruise missile specialization (Cruise Missile Launcher II).

Capital armaments

Citadel Cruise Missiles (7x)

• Requires Cruise Missiles V

+5%/level to damage done by Citadel Cruise Missiles

Citadel Torpedoes (7x)

• Requires Torpedoes V

+5%/level to damage done by Citadel Torpedoes

Bombs
