Skills:Missiles

From UniWiki

These skills are important for anyone who uses missile launchers. Training missile skills will be key for most Caldari combat pilots, but some Minmatar and Amarr ships use missiles too, as secondary or even as primary weapons.

Note that while the prerequisite skills for T2 turrets are hierarchical -- so, for example, you must train small T2 pulse lasers before training medium T2 pulses, and medium T2 pulses before training T2 large pulses -- the prerequisite skills for T2 missiles are not. You can train to use T2 cruise missiles or torpedoes without training T2 medium-sized missiles.
