The Torch is equipped with a probe bay, which can be used to launch various types of probes/missiles. In its default configuration, the Torch starts with three sensor probes, which can be used to extend the range of the ship's sensor suite in a direction for a brief amount of time.

Probes aren't the only thing that can be launched. A large variety of missile can be configured.

== Operation ==
[[File:Missiles program.png|thumb|The ''munitions control program'']]
# Open the ''munitions control program'' on a console. You may have to download it.
# Select one of the missiles that come with the Torch to configure it.
# Select a part to configure. For the probe, you'll have to configure both.
# For the sensor probe, configure a range.
#* Higher ranges use more power, so the probe won't last as long.
#** You can swap in a higher power cell to the sensor probe, if you choose!
# Then, configure the thruster with an X-Y point on the overmap to scout.
# Click '''Load''' on the loading bay you just configured, to move the the missile is on to the main belt. Press it again once it's on the main belt.
# Click '''Load''' on the launcher to bring it to the fore.
# Click '''ARM'''. Once you do, '''there is no turning back!'''
# Click '''FIRE'''. The missile is away!
# Confirm on the system map the missile has made it!

== Components ==
A missile is generally made up of two things:
* A ''payload'', which is what the missile is trying to accomplish
* A ''thruster'', which is how it gets there

=== Configuring components ===
There are two ways to configure components on a missile:
* Multitool on the component while it's outside of the missile
* Through the ''munitions control program'' with a console, if the missile is resting on a ''payload interface''

== Constructing a missile ==
// TODO this section, some parts are supply orderable, some parts start on the Torch, some parts are in an antag uplink, ''but only for mercs.''

// Include steps here too? Also available in codex

=== Available Payloads ===
Note: "when triggered" happens when the missile collides with a target within the space its overmap location represents.
