Note that while the prerequisite skills for T2 turrets are hierarchical -- so, for example, you must train small T2 pulse lasers before training medium T2 pulses, and medium T2 pulses before training T2 large pulses -- the prerequisite skills for T2 missiles are not. You can train to use T2 cruise missiles or torpedoes without training T2 medium-sized missiles.

Revision as of 13:50, 16 December 2012

This article is a stub. You can help the UniWiki by expanding it.

These skills are important for anyone who uses missile launchers. Training missile skills will be key for most Caldari combat pilots, but some Minmatar and Amarr ships use missiles too, as secondary or even as primary weapons.

Note that while the prerequisite skills for T2 turrets are hierarchical -- so, for example, you must train small T2 pulse lasers before training medium T2 pulses, and medium T2 pulses before training T2 large pulses -- the prerequisite skills for T2 missiles are not. You can train to use T2 cruise missiles or torpedoes without training T2 medium-sized missiles. Nevertheless, the skills below are loosely ordered from small to large, T1 to T2.

Support skills

These skills are generally not needed to fit hardware (there are a couple of exceptions, which are noted) but support missile deployment and maximise damage.


Missile Launcher Operation

Basic operation of missile launcher systems. 2% Bonus to missile launcher rate of fire per skill level.
 Attributes:
 Multiplier: 1x
 Price: 30k ISK
 Alpha max level: V
 Prerequisites: none
 I required for: All Missile Launchers and Charges; Heavy ssault Missile Specialization I; Rocket Specialization I; Light Missile Specialization I; Heavy Missile Specialization I; Cruise Missile Specialization I; Torpedo Specialization I; Rockets I; Missile Bombarment I
 II required for: Rocket Launcher II; Target Navigation Prediction I; Light Missiles I; Auto-Targeting Missiles I; Defender Missiles I; Rapid Launch I
 III required for: Rapid Light Missile Laucnehr II; Light Missile Launcher II; Minimatar Offensive Systems; Heavy Assault Missiles I; Heavy Missiles I; Missile Projection I
 IV required for: Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II; Heavy Missile Launcher II; Torpedo Launcher II; Warhead Upgrades I; Torpedos I
 V required for: Citadel Cruise Launcher I; Limos Citadel Cruise Launcher I; Shock Limos Citadel Torpedo Bay I; Citadel Torpedo Launcher I; All T2 Rockets, Missiles, Cruise Missiles and Torpedos; Citadel Cruise Missiles I; Caldari Offensive Systems I; Guided Missile Precision I; Cruise Missiles I; Citadel Torpedoes I
 Notes: The base skill of the missiles category. Plan to train it to V in the medium term if you use missiles, even if you only use them as a secondary weapon.



Guided Missile Precision
