Scattershot Missile

"The Scattershot Missile fires a narrow arc of Plasma at foes from very long range, causing massive fireworks."

- Fan-made Description

Generay
The Scattershot Missile is a long-range Plasma weapon intended to disrupt enemy line formations.

It charges up then shoots a fan of 5 pink missiles in a set spread, similar to that of the Arc Missile, causing a series of massive visual explosions. However, they do not actually have any noticeable splash effect.

Strategy
Spread out your ships to avoid multiple of your ships getting hit at once by this weapon. Alternatively, arrange your ships in single file so that only the lead ship gets hit.

Cutters can enter the minimum range of this weapon as quickly as possible.
