Within each size there is usually a kind of launcher that fires short-ranged, high-DPS missiles, and a kind of launcher that fires long-ranged missiles that do less DPS. Frigates, for example, can mount rocket launchers -- which fire short-ranged, higher-DPS rockets -- or light missile launchers -- which fire longer-ranged, lower-DPS light missiles.
