| Missile Boat | FS | TBD | The missile boat is a fighter type whose weapon suite is primarily missile weapons. Their role is closing on the enemy and overwhelming them with a swarm of missiles. Their secondary weapon suite is very limited, which limits their flexibility to be used in other roles. Their dependence on resupply limits their operations and tightly ties them to bases and carriers.
This is not to say that they do not have a place in combat, especially when used in numbers. Even a capital ship's commander would have reservation when facing a horde of missiles aimed at him. Missile boats, when found, are typically associated with larger operations and in richer systems, which can afford to support this ship killer. Some ships called missile boats due to their size do have a jump capability, but should be designated as frigates or escorts. |
