What is the difference between a missile and a torpedo in Star Citizen? They seem to fill very similar roles, but are apparently distinct sizes / types of weapons.asked by William George

Yeah, I mean in space not the hugest difference between really the functionality of a missile and a torpedo. For us, really the determination is more about the size of the payload and the speed and turning ability. So, torpedoes are really much bigger yield missiles essentially, they can't move as fast, they can't turn as fast but do vast amounts of specific ship to ship damage. So, technically I don't know if you want to think of them as super big, super slow missiles but that's essentially what they and sort of more keyed for bigger ships, the multicrew ship level or above of ships. Missiles in general are much quicker, accelerate much quicker, turn much quicker, have more sort of tracking options but not as much of a payload or yield. So, there you go, hopefully that helps.
