Rapid Missile Weapon Systems

Description
Rapid Missile Weapon Systems are missile platforms that feature a larger complement of missiles than other types of missile platforms, but suffer from lower damage and blast radius. The first platform in this category that will be unlocked to the player is the HY-70 "Hydra" at tier II in the Research Lab.

Gameplay
Rapid Missile Weapon Systems rely on their larger missile batteries as well as faster missile speeds to make up for their lack of raw damage potential. Rapid Missile Weapon Systems require more precise aiming, but make up for it with the sheer number of munitions that can be delivered to a target in a single salvo. Rapid Missile Weapon Systems are initially good for targeting slow, individual enemy units, such as Smugglers. More powerful platforms such as the HY-100 "Medusa" are viable options when looking to combat fast moving enemy vehicles, such as the Jackal and Python. Rapid Missile Weapon Systems may be less effective against massed infantry due to the low blast radius.
