Overcharged Warheads

"The Overcharged Warheads are given a newly discovered isotope of dense properties, resulting in a larger blast radius and force of explosion."

General
Overcharged Warheads boost Explosive weapons by enhancing area of effect and shield bypass. They are restricted to the Decimator, Vindicator and Altairian Cutters.

Advantages
Overcharged Warheads are basically AM Warheads III-V with extra shield bypass. They take up minimal mass, enabling your cutters to pack a punch while also having decent armor, shields and thrusters.

Disadvantages
The shield bypass granted by Overcharged Warheads is worthless against any ship that is Tier 6 or above other than Altairian Hulls and their Marauder counterparts because they most likely to have extremely tough armor and relatively weak shields. Note that Ablative Armor and Screens are not affected by shield bypass.

Trivia
