- Can modify the guidance systems of missiles before they are fired, allowing for attacks without line of sight (this requires separate electronic intelligence systems to detected the target and transmit the data to the Contingent warship)
- Can rapidly fire a spread of very long ranged missiles.
- Protects unfired missiles from damage before they can be launched.
- LRMs: The launcher can fire very long ranged, high payload guided munitions, making it a good artillery or harassing weapon.
- Out of Sight: The launcher can modify the guidance systems of missiles before they are fired, allowing for attacks without line of sight .
- This requires separate electronic intelligence systems to detect the target and transmit the data to the Contingent warship.
- Limited Ammunition: The missile launcher has a small ammunition capacity, making it less effective during protracted engagements.
The Hexus Pattern Long Ranged Missile Launcher a capital grade missile launcher designed to provide unmatched long ranged strike capabilities for Hexus Contingent warships. The launcher is made up of a pair of launch tubes and an autoloader mechanism, making it able to rapidly launch its full magazine and destroy its selected target.
This weapon is particularly suited to use against targets that are unaware of the Contingent warship's presence, as its long range and lack of a significant energy signature before firing gives it excellent ambush capabilities.
The launcher is fitted with an independent sensor system that can link to a wider ELINT (Electronic intelligence) system, allowing for safe targeting without the need for line of sight. This allows the missile launcher to tune its missiles' guidance systems for specific scenarios.
