= 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. | The Caldari have the most prolific catalog of missile ships, typically with large kinetic damage bonuses.

== 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. | The Minmatar are the second-most frequent users of missile ships.

== 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. | |||

== 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. | Gallente ships are by far the least likely to use missiles.

== 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. | |||
