Overview
These skills are important for anyone who uses missile launchers. Training missile skills will be key for most Caldari combat pilots, but some Minmatar and Amarr ships use missiles too, as secondary or even as primary weapons.
Perception and Willpower are important for perfecting your skill at missiles.
The following are the skills in the Missiles section (in alphabetical order):

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).

Price: | 37.5k ISK |
Alpha max level: | Alpha pilot can not train this skill. |
Prerequisites: | Missile Launcher Operation II |
I required for: | Tech 1 and Faction Auto-Targeting Missiles |
Notes: | 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. |
