X3:Reunion Manual - Steam

launched either simultaneously, or in swift succession, allowing the pilot to strafe the targetwith a barrage of missiles.SeekersBlizzard Missile – Yield (10000) – Fusing: Contact – Guidance: FF Swarm SeekerThe Blizzard Missile offers combatants the ability to effectively deal with multiple targets withthe use of one missile. While not as powerful as a one-shot direct unit, the missile will splitinto several independent components that will track separate enemies using your shipcomputer'sfriend or foe (FF) signatures.Tempest Missile – Yield (60000) – Fusing: Contact – Guidance: FF Tracking SeekerDependent on the IFF settings of the ship computer of the vessel it was launched from, theTempest Missile scans for enemy targets and establishes priority of attack. In doing so, if theprimary target is lost, it will immediately lock down the secondary, and so on, until it eitherruns out of fuel, or makes contact.Thunderbolt Missile – Yield (75000) – Fusing: Contact – Guidance: Heat SeekerThe Thunderbolt Heat seeker Missile uses inbuilt guidance systems to lock on to heatsignatures in both visible and infrared spectrums. Doing so allows it to track targets in areaswhere doing so would otherwise be impossible. Classically used when engaging targets atdistance, although pilots have since found other more ingenious uses for them.Image recognition (IR)Mosquito Missile – Yield (200) – Fusing: Contact – Guidance: IRThe Mosquito Missile is the most commonly used light missile in space fight. The mainpurpose of this weapon is missile defence for craft without a rear gun turret. Excellent fordestroying fighter drones. Most ships can use this missile.Rapier Missile – Yield (4000) – Fusing: Contact – Guidance: IRFresh from the drawing boards of the Argon Military Research Labs and not yet in officialproduction, the Rapier missile can acquire and lock down targets at speed, launching alightning-quick attack against an enemy vessel, far faster than many pilots’ reflexes. Used inclose-range combat, often in numbers, as well as through medium-range evasive routines,this device is considered to be an essential backup to any standard array of laser weaponry.Disruptor Missile – Yield (10000) – Fusing: Contact – Guidance: IRThe disruptor missile is an invention of the pirate faction, the Yaki. The missile uses enhancedion particles to disrupt the electronics and engines of the vessel it hits, leaving the hull andother systems intact.78Cyclone Missile – Yield (20000) – Fusing: Proximity – Guidance: Swarm IRSimilar to the Blizzard, the Cyclone Missile offers the same ability to deal with multiple targetswith one armament. Lacking the power of a single larger weapon, this missile will split at acertain distance from the target into several smaller units that will use Image Recognitiontracking to engage confirmed enemies in the field of engagement.Silkworm Missile – Yield (24000) – Fusing: Contact – Guidance: IRThe Silkworm Missile combines the quantum technology with a warhead able to destroy evenheavily protected targets. This missile will be typically used for attacks on large fighters ortransports.Banshee Missile – Yield (?) – Fusing: Proximity – Guidance: IRA powerful military-grade medium range image-recognition missile, the Banshee offers pilotsthe chance to show their enemies the true meaning of fear. While not the fastest missileavailable, its yield and strong acquisition ability allow it to be used in a wide range of combatscenarios against medium to heavy fighters.
