= Missile Ships =

Missile ships can be found across a wide range of ship types in every race, often showing up in places where an inexperienced player would not expect to find them. The following is a list of all subcapitals with hull bonuses to missiles (excluding special ships). This list is intended to aid a pilot specializing in missiles to find the ships which best suit their needs.

== Caldari ==

The Caldari have the most prolific catalog of missile ships, typically with large kinetic damage bonuses. This makes many Caldari missile ships relatively inflexible in terms of damage type.

=== Battleships ===

* T1: [[Raven]]
* Faction: [[Raven Navy Issue]], [[Scorpion Navy Issue]]
* T2: [[Golem]] Marauder, [[Widow]] Black Ops

=== Battlecruisers ===

* T1: [[Drake]]
* Faction: [[Drake Navy Issue]]
* T2: [[Nighthawk]] Command Ship

=== Cruisers ===

* T1: [[Caracal]]
* Faction: [[Caracal Navy Issue]], [[Osprey Navy Issue]]
* T2: [[Cerberus]] Heavy Assault Cruiser, [[Onyx]] Heavy Interdiction Cruiser, [[Rook]] Recon Ship
* T3: [[Tengu]] Strategic Cruiser

=== Destroyers ===

* T1: [[Corax]]
* T2: [[Flycatcher]] Interdictor

=== Frigates ===

* T1: [[Condor]], [[Kestrel]]
* Faction: [[Caldari Navy Hookbill]]
* T2: [[Hawk]] Assault Frigate, [[Crow]] Interceptor, [[Buzzard]] Covert Ops, [[Manticore]] Stealth Bomber

== Minmatar ==

The Minmatar are the second-most frequent users of missile ships. Unlike the Caldari, Minmatar missile ships do not typically have bonuses for a specific damage type, making them effective PvE ships through the class hierarchy as well as providing unpredictable damage in PvP.

=== Battleships ===

* T1: [[Typhoon]]
* Faction: [[Typhoon Fleet Issue]]

=== Battlecruisers ===

* T1: [[Cyclone]]
* T2: [[Claymore]] Command Ship

=== Cruisers ===

* T1: [[Bellicose]]
* Faction: [[Scythe Fleet Issue]]
* T2: [[Huginn]] Recon Ship
* T3: [[Loki]] Strategic Cruiser

=== Destroyers ===

* T1: [[Talwar]]

=== Frigates ===

* T1: [[Breacher]]
* T2: [[Hound]] Stealth Bomber

== Amarr ==

The only Amarr ships to provide missile hull bonuses are the Tech 2 Khanid ships and Tech 3 Legion, though several ships are unbonused towards a particular weapon type while possessing equal launcher and turret hardpoints. Of these, the [[Arbitrator]] and the [[Prophecy]] are considered drone boats, while the [[Dragoon]], [[Curse]], and [[Armageddon]] are PvP neuting ships with the neuts usually taking up the entire high rack.

=== Battlecruisers ===

* T2: [[Damnation]] Command Ship

=== Cruisers ===

* T2: [[Sacrilege]] Heavy Assault Cruiser
* T3: [[Legion]] Strategic Cruiser

=== Destroyers ===

* T2: [[Heretic]] Interdictor

=== Frigates ===

* T2: [[Vengeance]] Assault Frigate, [[Malediction]] Interceptor, [[Anathema]] Covert Ops, [[Purifier]] Stealth Bomber

== Gallente ==

Gallente ships are by far the least likely to use missiles. Indeed, very few ships sport even a single launcher hardpoint, and ultimately only two have any hull bonuses to missiles at all. Of the two, the Nemesis uses torpedoes solely by virtue of being a stealth bomber, while the Lachesis splits its bonuses between missiles and hybrid turrets. Finally, the [[Celestis]] is the only other Gallente ship with enough missile hardpoints for missiles to be its primary weapon system.

=== Cruisers ===

* T2: [[Lachesis]] Recon Ship

=== Frigates ===

* T2: [[Nemesis]] Stealth Bomber

== Pirate Factions ==

Pirate faction ships are usually very expensive, and as such should only be flown by experienced pilots. Moreover, since both missile-slinging pirate factions are hybrid Caldari/Gallente ships, they represent a significant skill investment in a race (Gallente) which very rarely uses missiles. If training into these from a Caldari background, ensure you first train up hybrid turret and drone skills to ensure you can also fly the many Gallente ships offered by cross-training into these ships.

=== Guristas ===

Guristas ships are powerful combination missile and drone platforms sporting strong skill bonuses to thermic/kinetic missile damage and shield resistances. However, their most powerful assets are their drones, with each ship having very high damage and hitpoint role bonuses to their respective drone class.

* [[Worm]] Frigate, [[Gila]] Cruiser, [[Rattlesnake]] Battleship

=== Mordu's Legion ===

Mordu's Legion ships are dedicated PvP boats with skill bonuses to point/scram range and missile damage (all types). Their role bonuses allow missiles to hit out 50% farther while reaching their targets in a third of the time, largely negating one of the most commonly-cited disadvantages to missile sniping in PvP.

* [[Garmur]] Frigate, [[Orthrus]] Cruiser, [[Barghest]] Battleship
