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.

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.
