Absolutely right. If you want to use missiles well, train it to level 4. If you want to specialise, train it to Lv5. There's no bones about it :D

"Explosion Radius" is a poorly named attribute. Don't think of a literal area of effect explosion. All you need to know is that you compare Explosion Radius to your targets Signature Radius; if the explosion radius is equal or smaller, it will not lose any damage based on the targets signature radius. If the explosion radius is larger, then you start losing max damage.

"Explosion Velocity" is just compared straight up against the target's current velocity. The target's volicty is greater than the explision velocity, damage is reduced.

The skill is of somewhat limited use because the target using needs to be running a MWD to be fast enough to make a difference. But sometimes it helps, for example when firing a Cruise Missiles (normally 500m/s) at a faster Thorax (1000+m/s on MWD). Also nice when firing missiles at Interceptors. Training the skill to level III won't take you long, so you may as well do it.

You could use the *new* missile part of the player guide to the left to see what that skill does as the devs understand it.

Rapid Launch 3 <-- lvl4

Warhead Upgrades 1 <-- must be min. lvl4, one of the best missile skills, increase dmg for all missile type (from rockets to torp)

target navigation prediction <-- i have it at lvl4 but in pvp it's a worthless skill, the most ceptors are faster and when you want to kill them, take a webber.
for pve its worth this skill.

Greetings ,

Sorry first , i didnt found a topic where this Skill has been discussed in the past so i want to start a new one :)

I had a small discussion with my Corp Colleagues abut this Skill , someone says its Crap , but i think its usefull while using Larger Missile Systems against Smaller Targets.

The Skill description tells us :

"Proficiency at optimizing a missile's flight path to negate the effects of a target's speed upon the explosion's impact. 10% decrease per level in factor of target's velocity for all missiles."

And show a "explosion velocity bonus 10 %"

From my Point of View , each Missile System has a own explosion velocity :
Small explosion velocity 1750 m/sec
Heavy explosion velocity 750 m/sec
Torpedo explosion velocity 250 m/sec
Cruise explosion velocity 500 m/sec

and also each has her own explosions radius

Small : explosion radius 50 m
Heavy : explosion radius 125 m
Torpedo : explosion radius 400 m
Cruise : explosion radius 300 m

So ... the Small Missiles has the fastest explosions velocity but also the smallest radius , thats why it does so mutch damage to Small Ships : The Ships cant fly away or Maneuver around/thrue the Explosion .

Where Small and Heavy Missiles still filling theyr Exposion Radius within 1 nearly instant , the Torpedo nearly needs 2 Seconds to fill his Explosion Radius.

What you Guys/Ladies think about my understantment of this Skill , and what you think about this Skill ?
