Spatial Missile Launcher

"The Spatial Missile Launcher is a one-of-a-kind base defense. It deploys slow-moving Explosive missiles in random directions with a proximity-triggered detonation."

- Fan-made Description

General
The Spatial Missile Launcher is an area-denial Explosive base weapon that fires volatile missiles in random directions. It is unable to damage the health of shielded ships.

Similar to the Spatial Torpedo Launcher, this weapon swiftly deploys orange missiles directly away from the launcher to 2,500 m range, which then slowly travel at 500 m/s before exploding at 10,000 m range. Note that the missiles have proximity trigger during the secondary phase.

Strategy
The Spatial Missile Launcher gets progressively deadlier as it fires more and more missiles, covering the vicinity with a sea of orange. Each missile does a ton of damage, often depleting defenses in one or two hits. Explosive resistant shields such as the Shockwave Shell are highly recommended because not only do the missiles deal little damage to the shields, but are also unable to deal any health damage via bleedthrough.

Bring long-range ships such as destroyers and carriers to destroy them as soon as possible once you enter their range.

Trivia

 * The Spatial Missile Launcher was first seen in Altairian Skirmisher targets during the 24th Decimation.
