There are [[Skills:Missiles|eight specific missile skills]], one for each class of missile. Each of the basic skills will let you load and fire that class of missile. In addition, each level of the skill will improve your damage by 5% when using that particular class of missile. These are somewhat cumulative - that is, you need LIght Missiles III to train Heavy Missiles, and Heavy Missiles III to train Cruise Missiles ... and other dependencies apply.

*Most pilots train the primary skills for Rockets and Light Missiles at least to Level III first, and then move on to larger missiles and launchers as they move to larger ships.
