{{ note box | '''Note on missile flight time''': Missiles only travel for whole seconds. If a missile's flight time is a fraction, the missile will travel the shorter maximum distance all the time and then will travel the additional distance part of time to account for the fraction. | |||
''For example, if a missile has a 10k m/s speed and a flight time of 6.3 seconds: it will first travel 60,000 meters ... and then, 30% of the time, it will go an additional 10,000 meters.'' | |||
From the game's point of view, this makes the math work out, but from a pilot's point of view, missiles can have a variable maximum range. Most of the time, this will not matter. But if you are fitting a ship for combat at extreme range, you will want to factor this into your analysis. | |||
