Overview[edit]

The Aldrin version of the MAML that uses Matter/Anti-Matter Warhead ammunition

Encyclopedia Entry[edit]

A weapon usually found equipped by corvettes or frigate-sized ships. The Matter/Anti-matter Launcher fires a bomb-like projectile which contains a small amount of anti-matter suspended in an energy field. When the energy is disrupted by impact or fails after a period of time, the anti-matter mixes with the surrounding matter, resulting in a large explosion. This weapon only fires Matter/Anti-matter Warheads.

Commentary[edit]

An Aldrin-only variant of the Terran Matter/Anti-Matter Launcher, this weapon is slightly less powerful due to a lower rate of fire. However, it is still a very dangerous corvette level weapon which is open to Aldrin heavy fighters such as the Aldrin Spitfyre and Terraformer #deca.cefa. This results in fighter wings capable of easily beating down battleships in short order, though requiring considerable amounts of ammunition. Despite this, the PM/AML is very ammo-efficient compared to other ammunition based weaponry due to its low rate of fire. The only M6 class ship this weapon is compatible with is the massively overpowered Aldrin Springblossom.
