= Heavy Missiles =
 +
Heavy Missiles are the bigger brother versions of Rockets and Light Missiles. These can be fitted to cruises and battlecruisers. They deal greater damage than Rockets and Light Missiles however are most effective against larger vessels such as battlecruisers and battleships and not very effective against frigates.
 +
 
 +
There are two main types: Heavy Missiles and Heavy Assault Missiles. The Assault variation can inflict more damage however has a greatly reduced range relative to Heavy Missiles which can have great ranges (50+km).

Cruise Missiles fit to battleships and--like Heavy to Light--have a greater damage output but are effective against bigger ships such as battleships and capitals.

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. Nevertheless, the skills below are loosely ordered from small to large, T1 to T2.

|notes=[[Missile Launchers#Auto-Targeting Missiles|Auto-targeting missiles]] don't require designated targets -- instead, they attack any hostile things within range. They can be helpful if you're jammed by ECM, but they're only useful in certain situations and need not be a high training priority. Before [[Odyssey]], this skill was called ''FoF (Friend or Foe) Missiles''.

}}
  
NOTE: Currently (Odyssey 1.1), missile skills are not the most desired if you plan on doing PvP and are almost all "banned" from Incursions, since there's a delay between missile launch and target hit, therefore offsetting the DPS time. Current ship fittings for Incursions in the UNI do not accept missile ships. PvE-wise, missiles are great and still wreak havoc.
