What support missile skills should I train first? Like what are the most important to have first? I have light missile and missile launcher at 3 right now. Then everything else is at lvl 2. Also what's the general rule when it comes to grouping weapons together? I'm flying a corax right now and I just have it as one module. |

Disclaimer: if you ask in the skill plan discussion forum someone probably did all the math to determine a missile skill plan that takes days or weeks less to do or provides more bang for the buck.
I didn't care that much so just went -
( in each category I went the faster trained skills before the longer I.e. 1x before 8x )
T2 weapon system skills first : t2 ammo is cool Direct damage adds - volley is cool ( but i save any skill that takes double digit days until later unless its needed for t2 kit) Rate of fire adds Damage application skills ( tracking and stuff for guns, missile precision stuff for missiles) Projection skills ( range only stuff) All those 10 day plus skills I put off in the same order and same priority as earlier.
Good luck in game :) |

Grouping is personal choice afaik try things grouped for a while, try things ungrouped for a while. see which you prefer
missile skills .. depends really on what you spend most of your time doing
shooting small fast targets .. train guided missile precision & target navigation prediction shooting a long away .. train missile bombardment and missile projection need more damage .. train warhead upgrades, rapid launch and your main launcher skill |

You want range first. That's what missiles are best at, sniping: hitting your targets from ranges they can't hit back at you from.

But a long point only goes out to 24km or so :( How much range a guy need right away?

Then you probably want range first like the others said.
But I urge you to think phonemically first:
Pfhooooosh........... BOOM!
Or

Train the missile control standard certificate, and train the needed skills in any way you want. Support skills are everything. No point in having t2 missiles w/o support skills. |

Getting things to 3 is easy:
1. Get your missile launcher operation skill to III 2. Get your specific missile skills for what size you're flying to 3 each (so for small, that's rockets and light missiles) 3. Get literally every skill in the missile category that's not associated with a specific missile type to III (projection, rapid launch, etc)
... 3a. at this point you're fine to start actually using the things.
4. Get your missile launcher operation to IV 5. Train Warhead Upgrades to III
From there, once you know what kind of missiles you want to use, get that to V for T2 Ammo. Increase the other support skills in order of annoyance / time required: i.e. "Damn it, my missiles aren't going far enough, I have velocity to 3 and projection to 4, I should train velocity to 4."
There's more specific advice for more specific things you wan' do, but this is the New Citizen forum so there's your starting advice for a really new player. |

Because they're the best weapon system in the game.
