Disruptor missile

Created by the Yaki, the Disruptor missile is a great for hunting down small ships such as M5's.
This missile can not be brought, however it
can be dropped when a NPC ship is killed.

Dragonfly missile

The Dragonfly missile is a great M4 destroyer, because of speed and damage.
I would not recommend for M5's because they could easily out run the missile.
This is fairly standard type of missile, fire and forget.

Firefly missile

The Firefly missile is a very fast dumbfire missile that deals a small amount of damage.
It is near impossible to land a hit on small targets, and on larger ships its damage is minimum.
The only use I can think of is to arggo capital ships.

Firelance missile

Yet another dumb-fire missile: as always this limits its usefulness massively,
because the missile will not track a target. This missile has a high top-speed and a fairly good damage,
although without tracking I'm not sure what you use it for.

Firestorm Torpedo

This Torpedo is a slow moving/turning Torpedo that delivers massive damage.
Whilst its initial damage is very good agaisnt M7/M2/M1 it also does radius damage.
This means if you launch one at a M7, it could take out all the supporting M6's as well.
However being a Torpedo, often means you need to hit a position without missile defence (like the front).
