So loading defenders tends to be less efficient than simply loading damage-dealing missiles and trying to kill the enemy before they kill you. Agony Unleashed have, however, [http://www.eve-ivy.com/forums//viewtopic.php?p=255185#p255185 reportedly] found that a defender launcher on an interceptor can help it to stay alive a little longer while holding a missile ship down.

=== ~~Friend or Foe~~ Missiles ===

=== Auto-Targeting Missiles ===

Friend or Foe (FoF) missiles, found under 'auto-targeting' in the market menus, are missiles which don't rely on locked targets in order to fire. When activated, they will fire on the nearest hostile (ship/drone which has aggressed you).

Auto-Targeting (previously referred to as Friend or Foe (FoF)) missiles, found under 'auto-targeting' in the market menus, are missiles which don't rely on locked targets in order to fire. When activated, they will fire on the nearest hostile (ship/drone which has aggressed you).

~~FoF~~ missiles will only activate successfully if there are suitable targets within range. ~~FoF~~ missiles will not fire if there are no suitable targets within range, and they cannot be run "hot" in preparation.<br>

Auto-Targeting missiles will only activate successfully if there are suitable targets within range. Auto-Targeting missiles will not fire if there are no suitable targets within range, and they cannot be run "hot" in preparation.<br>

~~FoF~~ missiles will not fire on a cloaked ship. ~~FoF~~ missiles will fire on a decloaked ship if it previously aggressed you, without waiting for them to re-aggress.

Auto-Targeting missiles will not fire on a cloaked ship. Auto-Targeting missiles will fire on a decloaked ship if it previously aggressed you, without waiting for them to re-aggress.

There are only ~~FoF~~ versions of the three guided kinds of missile -- light, heavy and cruise missiles -- which can be loaded into their ~~correspoding~~ launchers. Each version comes with the usual four different warheads for four different kinds of damage.

There are only Auto-Targeting versions of the three guided kinds of missile -- light, heavy and cruise missiles -- which can be loaded into their corresponding launchers. Each version comes with the usual four different warheads for four different kinds of damage.

As you can see, ~~FoF~~ missiles have the same flight characteristics and explosion profiles as their normal cousins, but do a bit less damage.

As you can see, Auto-Targeting missiles have the same flight characteristics and explosion profiles as their normal cousins, but do a bit less damage.

~~FoF~~ missiles are rarely useful, but they can help if you can't target because of [[EWar 101 Guide#Electronic_Counter_Measures_.28ECM.29|ECM jamming]] or (more rarely) [[EWar 101 Guide#Remote_Sensor_Dampening_.28damps.2C_RSD.29|sensor dampeners]], particularly if you only have a few enemies (the fewer enemies you have, the better the chance that your ~~FoFs~~ will hit the one you want them to hit).
