Top Grade Ethaerium Previously only using pure energy from the Reactor to produce energy based torpedoes, the damage potential has been upscaled to an alarming factor with the addition of wrapping a small amount of Ethaerium into a magnetic sheath.
Additional Spin Cycles Through the use of Magnetic Accelerator coils to sling the magnetic wrapped core downrange, the range and integrity of each torpedo has extended range capabilities and cohesive energy output over the previous iteration. As well as producing far more charges per recharge.
Reduced Spin Times While used for high rates of fire in other iterations of magnetic accelerated weapons in the PGEM catalog, the Spin time for each torpedo is only marginally better than the previous iteration for safety precautions.
Dumb Torpedo The usual weakness of guided munitions is the reliance upon sensors. The Bomblet Generator lacks such systems and relies on operator skill to send the weapon towards its intended target.
Top Grade Ethaerium Due to the use of Top Grade Ethaerium Gas in the blend, precautions had to be taken to make sure of the bomblet Generators continued operation even under duress and high output functions. A malfunction or direct hit while magnetically wrapping the gas core could result in catastrophic explosions.
Highly "Focused" While much faster than its previous iteration, the munitions still suffer from a lack of dedicated propulsion. As such, initial velocity and direction allows for most Starfighers to simply avoid the weapon in flight.
Energy Giant While bringing an astounding punch to the fight, the sheer amount of heat produced by this weapons system would make even civilian grade scanners light up with ease as a large heat source alone.
Announcement Being that the energy projectiles are hyper dense gas pockets contained within a magnetic sheath, only the first strike will be a surprise. And while capable of long range engagements to better hide their initial location, continuing volleys will easily pinpoint the location of the vessel wielding these weapons with scans directed to weapon energy signatures.
A revisit of her Bomblet Generator design, citing a need to provide a dedicated product for vessels flying under the direct command of the Priddy General Engineering And Manufacturing to protect their assets and affiliates.
The previous iteration of the Bomblet Generators were sufficient in meeting their goal of destructive capability without need for intensive resource management and resupply. This iteration, while not resource intensive, strays from that ideology in regard to further tip the scales in PGEM's favor.
Further use of Ethaerium in the newest weapons systems grant the newer design an alarming amount of destructive potential, and allows for not only extended range, superior magazine capacity, and rate of fire, but also produces a dumb torpedo of higher velocity by wrapping the core in a magnetic sheath to allow for better acceleration prior to release.
While not an infinite source, the limited use of Ethaerium as a core ensures the Bomblet Generator can go for extended engagements were other weapons systems would need a restock.
