'''Missiles''' are self-propelled ammunition launched from '''missile launchers''', one of the two most widely used weapon types in EVE (the other being turrets). Unlike turret weapons, missiles have the ability to track and follow their target. Rather than optimal and falloff range, missile range is determined by velocity and flight time, while missile damage is determined by the velocity and signature radius of the target and the explosion radius, explosion velocity, and damage reduction factor of the missile. | '''Missiles''' are self-propelled ammunition launched from '''missile launchers''', one of the two most widely used weapon types in EVE (the other being turrets).
