Note that launcher ammunition is often called "missiles" regardless of the ammunition's proper name, and thus this term can refer to any of rockets, missiles or torpedoes.

Out of T1 ships, Caldari ships are the best known missile users though a few Minmatar ships also use missiles. The {{sh|Armageddon}} and {{sh|Arbitrator}} also use often use missiles even without missile bonuses. Additionally, the Khanid Kingdom made T2 Amarr ships, Guristas ships and Mordu's Legion ships use missiles as their weapons.

Many hostile [[NPC]]s also use missiles as secondary weapons, and wield a single slow-firing launcher. These missiles will usually have the same range and damage application attributes of an ordinary missile of that ship's size.

There are total of four size classes for missiles, each with a short range and a long range launcher. Additionally, medium, large and XL launchers have 'rapid' launchers that shoot missiles one size class below normal.

Missiles can be ~~roughly~~ split into three groups: Short range, long range and rapid.

Each missile class has four variants that correspond to the four [[damage types]] in EVE. Inferno, Mjolnir, Nova and Scourge apply thermal, EM, explosive and kinetic damage, in that order. A given missile will apply only one type of damage, and each missile category does the same amount of damage.

Most missile bonused-ships will provide benefits to all missiles of a given size class. However, many Caldari ships (such as the {{sh|Drake}}) have bonuses to only a single type of missile damage: Kinetic. These ships are commonly referred to as "Kinetic locked". In general, damage type locked ships like this should usually only ever use missile ammo that match the damage type of their bonus, unless there is a very good reason to use a different type.

Different types of launchers within the class vary the firing rate and other characteristics of the launchers.

* Available only to light, heavy, and cruise launchers, '''Auto-Targeting Missiles''' will locate and target the nearest engageable ship or drone. Auto-targeting missiles do not require the user be locked on to the targets they engage; however as they cannot be deliberately aimed, deal less damage, and have a hard maximum range beyond which they will not acquire targets, auto-targeting missiles are usually passed over in favor of regular missiles.

* '''Defender missiles'''. When activated, Defender Launchers will scan local space for [[Bombs]] within range. If a bomb is detected, the launcher will fire one ''Defender Missile'' to intercept and destroy it. If no bombs are found, the launcher will still cycle.

==Short range missile systems==

[[File:Torpedo_64_bit_icon.png|left|link=]]

Short range missiles have shorter cycle times and higher DPS than long range missiles. Compared to their long range counterparts, Rockets and Heavy Assaults have lower damage but better application, while Torpedoes and XL Torpedoes have higher damage but worse application. Rocket, Heavy Assault, and Torpedo launchers also have polarized versions, which offer higher rate of fire and ammo capacity {{color|red|at the cost of all of a ship's resistances}}.
