==Examples==
All these use early-game Ion Drive engine tech:

====Offensive Missiles====
;Swarm missile
 Missile Size: 1 MSP  (0.05 HS)     Warhead: 2    Armour: 0     Manoeuvre Rating: 10
 Speed: 18000 km/s    Engine Endurance: 63 minutes   Range: 68.5m km
 Chance to Hit: 1k km/s 180%   3k km/s 60%   5k km/s 36%   10k km/s 18%
These can overwhelm the target's point defense through sheer numbers, but individual damage is low.

;High damage, medium range
 Missile Size: 3 MSP  (0.15 HS)     Warhead: 9    Armour: 0     Manoeuvre Rating: 12
 Speed: 12000 km/s    Engine Endurance: 51 minutes   Range: 36.6m km
 Chance to Hit: 1k km/s 144%   3k km/s 48%   5k km/s 28.8%   10k km/s 14.4%

;Fast, medium range
 Missile Size: 3 MSP  (0.15 HS)     Warhead: 4    Armour: 0     Manoeuvre Rating: 12
 Speed: 24000 km/s    Engine Endurance: 25 minutes   Range: 36.6m km
 Chance to Hit: 1k km/s 288%   3k km/s 96%   5k km/s 57.6%   10k km/s 28.8%
Note the difference in speed and therefore hit chances.

;Active sensor, medium-long range ASM
 Missile Size: 6 MSP  (0.3 HS)     Warhead: 9    Armour: 0     Manoeuvre Rating: 14
 Speed: 12000 km/s    Engine Endurance: 74 minutes   Range: 52.9m km
 Active Sensor Strength: 0.98   Sensitivity Modifier: 80%
 Resolution: 100    Maximum Range vs 5000 ton object (or larger): 780 000 km
 Chance to Hit: 1k km/s 168%   3k km/s 56%   5k km/s 33.6%   10k km/s 16.8%

;Armored Torpedo
 Missile Size: 12 MSP  (0.6 HS)     Warhead: 16    Armour: 1     Manoeuvre Rating: 13
 Speed: 12000 km/s    Engine Endurance: 134 minutes   Range: 96.7m km
 Active Sensor Strength: 1.4   Sensitivity Modifier: 80%
 Resolution: 100    Maximum Range vs 5000 ton object (or larger): 1 120 000 km
 Chance to Hit: 1k km/s 156%   3k km/s 52%   5k km/s 31.2%   10k km/s 15.6%
A design by the Bigger-is-Better school of thought. Best used against stationary targets, like the broadside of a barn.

;Questionable long-range Size 4 ASM
 Missile Size: 4 MSP  (0.2 HS)     Warhead: 5    Armour: 0     Manoeuvre Rating: 11
 Speed: 25000 km/s    Engine Endurance: 6.3 hours   Range: 567.3m km
 Chance to Hit: 1k km/s 275%   3k km/s 88%   5k km/s 55%   10k km/s 27.5%
Range might be excessive, unless you have matching Active Sensors and firecontrols.

===Point Defence Missile===
Also see the [[Anti-Missile Tutorial|tutorial on missile defence]].

A missile best designed with a 1 damage warhead, this missile should instead balance out speed, agility and fuel. They should also be at max size one, as any bigger is a waste of space and material unless an enemy is throwing size 50 missiles at you then situations may deem a change in tactics. PD Missiles need to be at least Strength 1 to destroy enemy missiles.

;Badly designed Size 1 Anti-missile Missile
 Missile Size: 1 MSP  (0.05 HS)     Warhead: 1    Armour: 0     Manoeuvre Rating: 10
 Speed: 28000 km/s    Engine Endurance: 142 minutes   Range: 237.8m km
 Chance to Hit: 1k km/s 280%   3k km/s 90%   5k km/s 56%   10k km/s 28%
Very useful design if you can spot incoming missiles at 237 million km, which unfortunately you can't.

===Submunitions (MIRV) Drone===
A size-2 missile engine with low power but good fuel efficiency and 4 points of fuel. No warhead or agility are required. The second stage consists of six size-1 missiles with a range of 2.5m km, so that's what the Separation Range has been set to. The drone itself would be easy to shoot down, but the second stage missiles are (hopefully) released outside the enemy's missile defense range.<br>
 Missile Size: 12 MSP  (0.6 HS)     Warhead: 0    Armour: 0     Manoeuvre Rating: 10
 Speed: 16000 km/s    Engine Endurance: 190 minutes   Range: 182.0m km
 Second Stage: Dagger Mk4 x6
 Second Stage Separation Range: 2,500,000 km
 Chance to Hit: 1k km/s 160%   3k km/s 50%   5k km/s 32%   10k km/s 16%

===Mines===
;Captor M41S50
 Missile Size: 50 MSP  (2.5 HS)     Warhead: 0    Armour: 0     Manoeuvre Rating: 10
 Speed: 0 km/s    Engine Endurance: 0 minutes   Range: 0.0m km
 Thermal Sensor Strength: 2.948    Detect Sig Strength 1000:  2 948 000 km
 Second Stage: Pilum M40S20 ASTMM x2
 Second Stage Separation Range: 3 000 000 km
 Overall Endurance: 35 minutes   Overall Range: 23.1m km
 Chance to Hit: 1k km/s 0%   3k km/s 0%   5k km/s 0%   10k km/s 0%
No engine, but a passive sensor and two Pilum submunitions that are released when a hostile contact comes into sensor range. Note that this mine would detect a contact of thermal strength 2000 at almost 6m km, but would not release the submunitions.

;Pilum M40S20 ASTMM
 Missile Size: 20 MSP  (1 HS)     Warhead: 25    Armour: 1     Manoeuvre Rating: 11
 Speed: 10800 km/s    Engine Endurance: 35 minutes   Range: 22.7m km
 Active Sensor Strength: 4.62   Sensitivity Modifier: 80%
 Resolution: 150    Maximum Range vs 7500 ton object (or larger): 4 520 000 km
 Chance to Hit: 1k km/s 118.8%   3k km/s 33%   5k km/s 23.8%   10k km/s 11.9%
This submunition's range is much higher than required - it can't see targets beyond its own sensor range.
