Description

Kinetic weapon with explosive damage. Explosion damage depends on target size.

While the button is pressed, a projectile guided by a pointing EM field flies in the direction of the crosshairs. When the button is released, the projectile continues to fly, maintaining its speed and direction of flight.

The projectile pierces the enemy ship and returns to its owner, increasing the range of the weapon by 15% and the damage of the next shot by 20% for 20 sec. due to the accumulated energy.

The effect stacks up to 5 times. The projectile does not deal any damage to the owner.
