Anthracite Munition

"Torpedos are loaded with a submetallic carbon based substance that creates a volatile warhead, purpose built for maximizing Explosive AoE."

General
The Anthracite Munition is a Pharmakon-exclusive special designed for Explosive damage Torpedo weapons.

Advantages
The Anthracite Munition is an improved version of Volatile Fuel, granting increased AoE and weapon speed to the hull.

This allows weapons such as the Binary Torpedo to connect with their targets much more quickly, making it hard for moving enemy targets to dodge the torpedoes.

It also does not take up mass, freeing up space for additional equipment.

Disadvantages
Anthracite Munition penalizes the screen charge rate of Pharmakon Screens, meaning that Pharmakon Hulls will take longer to charge before they are able to phase, making them more vulnerable to enemy attacks.

Trivia

 * Anthracite Munition is the first Explosive weapon special utilized by the Pharmakon.
 * Anthracite Munition is essentially a reskinned Volatile Fuel that penalizes screen charge rate instead of taking up mass.
 * Its stacking behaviour with other specials has been fixed in the late April 2019 update.
 * This special has been locked to Tier 7 ships in the early November 2019 update.
 * The Phasing revamp during early November 2019 drastically reduced the nominal Phase Charge modifier of Anthracite Munition because their effect now stacks across the whole fleet instead of just a single ship.
