-===== List of Missiles =====
+===== Missiles =====
+Missiles are expendable munitions.
+Attack missiles have a variety of properties:
+  * **Damage** yield is the amount of damage inflicted on targets within the Area of Effect.
+  * **Range** describes how far the missile can travel, generally you want to launch at targets well within range to compensate for target movement.
+  * **Speed** describes how quickly it moves towards a target.
+  * **Cooldown** describes how much time the launcher takes between firings to prepare the next launch.
+  * **Seeker** determines how the missile acquires targets and when it may be fired: Targetted, requiring a target prior to launch or Autonomous which relies on the missile's onboard systems.
+  * **Swarming** refers simply to missiles which release multiple warheads. There are always eight warheads released. Note: warhead behavior is detailed in other columns such as dumbfire, heat-seeking, etc.
+  * **Guidance** determines how a missile tracks and follows targets: Heat seeking missiles will attempt to attack the nearest warm target, Image Recognition or Standard Guidance will follow a specific target primarily based on its appearance, Dumb-fire have no guidance at all and will travel in direction of launch without maneuvering relying on the pilot's intuition of target movement.
+  * **Fusing** controls detonation, most missiles detonate when they impact a target. Proximity fusing will detonate when the missiles gets close enough to the target, generally once it's already missed impact and is getting farther away. A few missiles may be Manually Triggered to detonate remotely, also known as synaptic triggering.
+Some missiles have extremely powerful detonations which affect large areas the size of this influence is noted by **Area of Effect**.
