when playing eve in my kestrel frigate I had been using bloodclaw light missiles and i was destroying certain ships in 1 shot so when i ran out of bllodclaw i decided to switch to sabertooth light missiles and i noticed that the ships i used to be able to destroy in 1 shot were now taking 2 shots to destroy so i was just wondering if some missiles are stronger then others

Just like ammo, missiles exist that are preferential in their damage types. Bloodclaws are better at punching through armor while Sabertooths are better at wearing down shields. The Flameburst rest in the middle of these two.

If you check the missile stats, they all do the same amount of damage, but each do only one type. Totally disregard the armor/shield damage numbers, as they're only very loose guidelines.
Each NPC pirate type will be weakest to a certain damage type. Guristas, for instance, are weakest against Kinetic. This is great for a Kestrel pilot, since the Kestrel's biggest damage bonus is to Kinetic. So load up those Bloodclaws, oh son of the Caldari, and keep space safe.

All missiles and rockets of a similar type have the same base damage as the others. However:
a) Some missile ships have damage bonuses, but only to certain damage types like the Kestrel and Caracal to kinetic damage.
b) Some NPCs are more vulnerable to certain types of damage than the others.
c) Skills may come into effect making missiles stronger, especially warhead upgrades, and others like Target Navigation Prediction will help keep damage high against smaller and faster targets.
