===Defender Missiles=== | ===Defender Missiles=== | ||
Defender missiles are anti-missile missiles. They can be loaded in any missile launcher. Defenders only target missiles fired at the ship that launches them. They always target the closest of incoming missiles. They have a base speed of 7,500m/s and a base flight time of 10s. | |||
Defenders are unpopular and not very useful. This is because: | |||
* PvE rats usually don't major on missiles. | |||
* Defenders have a better chance to intercept long range missiles which spend more time arriving, but most uses of missiles in PvP involve short range missiles. | |||
* If there's a group of missiles from grouped missile launchers, defenders attack the missiles one by one rather than attacking the whole stack. | |||
So loading defenders tends to be less efficient than simply loading damage-dealing missiles and trying to kill the enemy before they kill you. Agony Unleashed have, however, [http://www.eve-ivy.com/wiki/index.php?title=The_Skillbook_Program reportedly] found that a defender launcher on an interceptor can help it to stay alive a little longer while holding a missile ship down. | |||
