Missile Launchers: updating names and rewriting reference to rapid launchers
Line 29: Line 29:
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. Like projectile turrets, missile launchers do not use capacitor to activate which makes them very versatile. However, launcher hardpoints are uncommon except on dedicated missile ships (certain Minmatar, Caldari, and a few T2 Amarr). Also note that range and damage output for missiles is not as straightforward to calculate as it is for turrets; check [[Missile Launchers]] for more information.

"Short-range" bays refers to missile launchers using the short-range, high damage missiles, namely rocket launchers, heavy assault missile launchers, torpedo launchers and citadel torpedo launchersExcept 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).

"Long-range" launchers refers to missile launchers using the long-range, low damage missiles, namely light missile launchers, heavy missile launchers, cruise launchers, and citadel cruise launchers. Except for Light Missile Launchers, these launchers have lower fitting needs than their close-ranged counterparts.
