Im using plane jane Bane torpedoes and I notice that they sputter out at around 33k away from my ship. i fly a Nemesis and can target ships at about 150 km out. How can i increase the range of my missles to get the most out of my range?
Do different torpedoes have different ranges?
What skills can I learn to increase their range?
Any help would be appreciated!

Different torpedoes do not have different ranges.
Skills: Missile Bombardment and Missile Projection.
Rigs: Hydraulic Bay Thrusters, Rocket Fuel Partition Cache.
Implants: Zainou 'Deadeye' ZMC series (Flight Time bonus).
I think covered most things there. I'm sure someone will point things I didn't though

Missile range is a factor of missile speed and flight time. Anything that increases these two will make your missiles fly further. I think the previous poster has already mentioned the most important things that can effect these attributes, but I will add that using T2 Javelin torpedoes will also increase your range because of their higher missile speed, although it will make your ship go slower. All things combined, this would mean that your Nemesis should be able to hit out to about 120km with maximized skills, fitting and the likes.
One thing that you need to be aware of when using missiles is that they don't fly in a straight line if the target isn't sitting still. This means they might have to travel a longer path then the targeted ship is from you, and still miss if the flight path is too long. With speedy ships, the slow torpedoes might actually never hit at all, simply because they cannot keep up with the targeted ship.
Hope that helps :)

If you go with rigs, make sure to train Launcher Rigging so you can avoid fitting issues (cpu). For javelin torpedoes, you need t2 launchers ie. Torpedoes skill at 5.
As an alternative to increasing range, you can just make your bomber go faster, or make better use of cloaking and tactics, so you can fire closer to your targets.

Missile bombardment, Covert Ops, and whatever skill improves flight time. Get t2 launchers and javelin torps.

There are also rigs that increase flight time and speed of missiles/torps. Those will help you get better range with torps.
