Overview

Missile Heavy Warship: three large launchers, missile damage and reach grow with Missiles

Slots and bonuses

5 high (3 L launcher, 2 M turret) · 5 mid · 5 low.

• Launcher L 3Launcher mount · large. Missiles steer themselves to a locked target: the nose does not need to point at it. Takes size L: missile launchers, point defense. Smaller missile launchers and point defense fit too. A smaller weapon keeps its own size and stats: no bonus from the larger mount.
• Turret M 2Turret mount · medium. Turns on its own to track a target anywhere above its deck, so it keeps firing while you orbit or fly past. Takes size M: energy guns, mass drivers, missile launchers, point defense, salvagers, Seal Breakers, Splice Rigs, barrier projectors, nanite projectors. Sizes must match exactly (M), except energy guns and mass drivers and missile launchers and point defense and salvagers and Seal Breakers and Splice Rigs: a smaller one fits too. A smaller weapon keeps its own size and stats: no bonus from the larger mount.
• Mid slots 5Mid slot · shields and electronics. No mount restrictions: takes any mid-slot module. Barrier regenerators, amplifiers and weaves, thrusters, point defense, jammers, scanners, doctrine arrays, the shroud and guidance rigs. Only this class of hull can fit: Lightfold Cloak, Heavy Drive Tether, Drive Anchor.
• Low slots 5Low slot · armor and engineering. No mount restrictions: takes any low-slot module. Platings, nanite repair arrays, bracing, cell banks, hold extensions, augers and launcher rigs. One armor plating per hull.
