ORDNANCE

Ordnance can be a cheap way of delivering a decisive blow to a designated target and four basic types are available as described in the following table.

ORDNANCE TYPE

DESCRIPTION

DESTRUCTIVE

Missile that delivers a high explosive payload to the designated target.

EM SHOCKWAVE

Missile used to damage shields by delivering a pulse of Electromagnetic Radiation. The damage that they record is measured in terms of the number of Shield Units that are depleted.

ANTI-MISSILE

Fragmentation device which shatters into a number of small high velocity bomblets which target any missiles not fired by the parent vessel.

DEFENSIVE-CLUSTER

Cluster missile which splinters into a number of smaller projectiles each of which will target any aggressor vessel. If no Aggressor is found then the parent vessels current target will be loaded into the rockets telemetry instead.
