SPECIAL FEATURES
-Destructive field: When “Detonated” the Expansion missile will generate a spherical Reflection Emitter field that grows to around 50 times the length of the missile being used. This Emitter field has a very high force, that rips and tears at anything it touches, ripping through most armor and equipment and shoving away what it can’t destroy with the outward force it has as it expands. The fields of both larger and smaller missiles are equally strong, trading off power for their size and time they last.
-One use battery: The Expansion missiles use powerful One Use batteries in order to create the field, as the amount of energy it requires is considerable. This lets them fit it in a smaller area, though it comes with its own difficulties.
-Can have a targeting system added, if not it will simply propel itself (or continue due to being launched).
-Can be either detonated on command, if it gets close enough to a target (requires targeting system) or upon impact (default)
Strengths:
-Are very destructive against both armored and unarmored enemies. Damaging to titanium and most forms of armor, with exception to things such as Beskar’gam or alchemized materials (dependent on durability). This allows it to be used as an excellent anti vehicle and anti ship weapon, or to punch holes in defensive walls.
-Propulsion system can launch it like a missile. This can however be removed to carry more, or to launch it rather then letting it propel itself.
-Can have targeting system attached. Three methods of detonation, remote, impact (default), and near target.
-What it can’t destroy, it will shove against usually with enough force to throw it out of the way.
-Lasts around 1 to 3 seconds means it can cause continued damage for that time (the smaller it is the shorter the time)
Weaknesses:
-Slower than an explosion: The Reflection Emitter field it generates expands slower then some other explosive like designs, at around just 40 meters per second, when it hits its distance limit it simply remains for another moment before it dissipates.
-Can’t be used when too close to the enemy as the debree or field may hit allies.
-Can take up to eight full seconds to load depending on system involved. This makes it impossible to perform quick repeated attacks with one. Even smaller take 4 seconds to reload.
-Size means they usually need to be transported by vehicle or ship, though they could be put in a cart. This limits how many can be brought as well as where they can be used.
-The battery deteriorates when used, leaving what’s left of the missile almost entirely unusable.
-Heavy nature means it’s less accurate and maneuverable than a missile.
DESCRIPTION
The Expansion missiles were yet another application to the Reflection Emitters created for offensive shielding. This time turned into an actual weapon. Set up to be used against vehicles and ships, the destructive power of the energy field it creates, along with its immense outward push, makes it an excellent weapon against large sized targets.
While the field destroys most in its path as it expands, which as a result deteriorates the one use battery, the outward force it creates can launch whatever it can’t destroy well away from it, which can create even more destruction.
When used in land battles, it would typically be applied to larger vehicles and artillery, to be launched into the air and come down on its enemy rather than the more direct path it often takes in space combat.
