Weapon Type's

[Mangala]

There are many weapon systems in EVE. The main weapons types all have two variants: Close Range & Long Range.  As I said in channel last night, I'll pop this post up explaining the type's. I shall stick to Tech 1 for now as Tech 2 gets slightly different.

Defender missiles?

Forgot about those. Used to shoot down incoming missiles. Not really worth it to be totally honest.
