| + | This has the same tactical application of the [[GTM Hornet]] in Freespace 2. Although it isn't maneuverable or fast, it packs a lot more punch than a [[Javelin]]. Use it to take out a [[Scimitar]] in one volley, or to scatter [[GTVA]] wings before they are in engagement range. It's not going to take out a [[GTF Nyx|Nyx]] but it will definitely kill a [[GTF Myrmidon|Myrmidon]] if the swarm hits. Much like the Hornet is made obsolete by the [[GTM Tornado|Tornado]] the [[Dart]] is much preferable to the Dirk.}} | ||

Description
Blue Planet Tech Room Description
The Mulberry GES-2 swarm missile is primarily used against bombers and slower heavy fighters. It has moderate stopping power, and its tracking abilities are limited, but its range is excellent, making it a strong choice for head-to-head engagements. High cost-per-kill ratio make the Dirk a distasteful commodity for logistics officers.

Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.
Mostly useless, the Javelin is preferable in a dogfight. The only advantage this has is its range; it increases your reach and allows you to engage the enemy from further out than you would otherwise be able to, but even this has a catch as at maximum range you are very unlikely to land any hits.
