 *** Used for fleet PvP
 *** Allows logistics time to save you
------ Checkpoint -----
 ==== Missiles ====
-* Any damage type
+* Fully selectable damage type
-** Caldari missile ships often have damage bonuses specifically for kinetic missiles
+** Match damage type with enemy weakness
-* You don't have to worry about tracking, optimal and falloff
+** Useful for PvE
-** Same damage at any range
+* Missiles take time to travel to target
-* Damage can greatly reduced by target's speed and size
+** Result is less popular usage in PvP
-* Don't use capacitor to fire
+* Does not use capacitor
-* Very easy to use weapon system
+* Damage dependent on target signature radius and speed, not angular velocity and range
-* Can match damage type to enemy's weakness
+* Caldari ships damage bonus usually for kinetic (scourge) missiles
-** Extremely useful in PvE when you know the enemies' weaknesses going in
-* Can be somewhat problematic in long range PvP due to travel time issues
-* 10 second reload time
 ==== Hybrid turrets ====
-* Blasters for short range, railguns for long range
+* Does kinetic and thermal damage
-** Blasters: compared to other turrets, shortest range, highest potential DPS
+* Caldari ships favor range bonus over damage bonus
-** Railguns: compared to other turrets, longest range, possibly lowest DPS
+** Helps offset short range of blasters
-* Caldari hybrid platforms usually have range bonuses
+** Makes for great sniping platforms
-** Can potentially favor sniping with rails
+* Blasters
-** Can also be used to mitigate blasters' really short base range, however
+** Highest potential dps
-* Always use kinetic/thermal damage
+** Very short range ofter prevents realizing this potential
-* Use some capacitor to fire
+** Good tracking
-* Ammo is on a sliding scale from high damage/short range (Antimatter) to low damage/long range (Iron)
+** T2 ammo
-* T2 hybrids can use T2 ammo types as well
+*** Void
-** Railguns
+**** Highest damage, decent range
-*** Spike -- Ridiculously long range
+*** Null
-*** Javelin -- Close range, higher damage than regular ammo
+**** Increased range, decent damage
-** Blasters
+* Railguns
-*** Null -- Longer range than regular ammo
+** Largest optimal range
-*** Void -- Close range, higher damage than regular ammo
+** Damage closer to beam lasers than artillery
+** T2 ammo
+*** Javelin
+**** Increased tracking, Greatly reduced range
+*** Spike
+**** Greatly increased range, Greatly reduced tracking
 ==== ECM ====
-* Caldari racial EWAR type
+* Breaks all locks of target and prevents target from locking for a period of time
-* Chance based -- succeeds or fails
+* Chance based, pilot jamming strength vs target sensor strength
-* Requires lots of attention to manage properly
+* Greatly affected by bonused hulls
-* If successful, prevents enemy from locking anything for duration of module cycle (usually 20 seconds)
+* Race specific modules
-* Can be very annoying to fight against
+** Most fits use up many mid slots
-** Can deter fights as other pilots don't like facing ECM
+* Range second only to sensor dampening
-* Does not work well on ships without a bonus to it
+* Excessive amounts may prevent others from willingly fighting
-** Typically fitted on specific Caldari hulls
+-----
-* Medium range -- longer on some ships and with good skills)
-* Uses a lot of mid slots
-* Doesn't require lots of training to get off the ground -- good role for a new pilot in a Uni warfleet
