Long range projectile turrets. They have the highest volley damage but the poorest tracking of all long-range weapon systems. They have the second-highest fitting requirements after beam lasers and are thus rarely found on non-Minmatar ships. | Long range projectile turrets.

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

"Short-range" bays refers to missile launchers using the short-range, high damage missiles, namely rocket launchers, heavy assault launchers, torpedo launchers and citadel torpedo launchers, as well as Assault Launchers. 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. | "Short-range" bays refers to missile launchers using the short-range, high damage missiles, namely rocket launchers, heavy assault launchers, torpedo launchers and citadel torpedo launchers, as well as Assault Launchers.
