Missile launchers are the primary weapon of the Caldari. Unlike turret-based weapon systems missile launchers have low powergrid needs but high CPU requirements. Man ships don't have enough turret hardpoints to fill a full rack of their preferred turret weapon, but will instead have launcher hardpoints. | Missile launchers are the primary weapon of the Caldari.

Except for rocket launchers, these short-ranged launchers have higher PG and CPU needs than their long-ranged counterparts (in contrast, long-ranged turrets have steeper fitting needs than their short-ranged counterparts). Assault launchers are a special case - they are cruiser-sized missiles bays that use light missiles. These launchers have significantly lower fitting needs than any other cruiser-sized weapon system, allowing more resources for other needs. | ||

"Long-range" launchers refers to missile launchers using the long-range, low damage missiles, namely standard launchers, heavy launchers, crusie launchers, and citadel cruise launchers.
