Line 7:

Like turrets, missile launchers come in small, medium, large and extra-large sizes (for frigates and destroyers; cruisers and battlecruisers; battleships; and capital ships, respectively). Missile launchers do not use capacitor to fire.

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 standard missile launchers -- which fire longer-ranged, lower-~~DPs~~ light missiles.

The long-ranged varieties of missiles are 'guided' and the short-ranged varieties of missile are 'unguided'.
