Tracking disruptors damage the enemy's optimal range and fall off by the same percent. They also damage the enemy's tracking. Both can be scripted to increase the effect and to reduce the stacking penalties when using more than one.

Missile disruptors make enemy missile launchers less effective by reducing missile velocity, flight time, and explosion velocity while increasing explosion radius. You can load scripts into them, giving them twice the effectiveness against either range (missile velocity and flight time) or precision (explosion velocity and explosion radius) while losing the other effect entirely. Disrupting precision will make it difficult for a missile ship to hit small targets such as frigates. Missile disruptors are ineffective against turret and drone damage.

It is worth reading about [[Drones]] as they are your primary source of damage. Knowing your drones helps a lot.

As this ship has no bonuses to energy neutralizers, using them against a larger ship, such as a BC or a BS, is most likely only going to drain your own cap.
