Missiles and Bombs
The Missiles and Bombs OXP contains a collection of weapons and equipment available to pilots from most medium and high tech shipyards.
Offensive Weapons
AS-1 Blue Steel Stand-off Cascade Missile
The Blue Steel is a large ship-sized missile armed with a 10-megaton quirium cascade warhead, effective at ranges of up to 20km. Although slower and less manoeuverable than a conventional missile, the Blue Steel is hardened against both electronic countermeasures and direct laser fire, increasing its survivability in combat situations.
AS-2 Red Pivot Fragmentation Missile
The Red Pivot is a medium-sized missile armed with a fragmentation warhead. Upon initial detonation, a collection of bomblets are released which are then exploded via a time-delay fuse, resulting in a 750m blast radius.
AS-3 Green Spark Laydown Fragmentation Bomb
The Green Spark is a derivative of the Red Pivot missile and is armed with a larger fragmentation warhead. Deployed as a mine, the weapon can used without a specific target being set and is therefore especially effective against multiple-ship formations.
AS-4 Orange Tear Immobilisation Missile
Popularly known as the 'Lawmaker', the Orange Tear was developed for use by GalCop to help in apprehending targets. The missile uses a short-range electromagnetic pulse wave to temporarily disable a ship's systems and allow it to be boarded and searched.
AS-5 Blue Neon High Speed Interception Missile
The Blue Neon is a small and highly-manoeuverable missile designed for use against fast, agile targets capable of outrunning conventional weapons. Although the missile is equipped with fuel injection for maximum speed, its warhead is relatively small and therefore the Blue Neon is best used to damage and slow targets, bringing them within range of laser fire or heavier missile weapons.
AS-6 Yellow Chisel Multiple Warhead Anti-Thargoid Missile
Developed for use by the Imperial Navy against Thargoid warship formations, the Yellow Chisel package releases four independent missiles equipped with smart seeker heads that are able to identify and intercept Thargoid ships.
AS-7 Violet Flax Electronic Override Missile
A development of the Orange Tear, the Violet Flax analyses a target's systems and, via a short-range electromagnetic pulse, installs an intelligent software virus that disrupts a target's avionics, resulting in temporary control failure.
