-Most attack missiles and torpedoes detonate to cause damage to shields and hulls. Their primary purpose, to distinguish themselves from energy weapons, is that they consume much more space and functionally cost you money to attack, but compensate by being capable of inflicting far more damage in a given period of time than a regular weapon can. A good many types of missiles cannot be bought at all, and must be hoarded from enemy kills, making them more precious as a weapon, or else simply sellable loot from a kill. Many powerful missiles and torpedoes have ranges far greater than normal lasers, making them capable of being used from "safe" ranges where a smaller ship would be vaporized by capital ship fire if they traveled into standard weapons range.

-Boarding pods are a "missile" which delivers marines from the firing ship to the target.
