[edit] Overview
The Matter/Anti-Matter Launcher, or MAML, is a Terran corvette and frigate weapon used against medium and heavy targets. It uses Matter/Anti-Matter Warhead Ammunition.
[edit] Encyclopedia Entry
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.
[edit] Commentary
The MAML does a large amount of hull damage, but is not as potent against shields. Nevertheless it is still a very powerful weapon, if somewhat limited in accuracy due to the tardy velocity of the warheads. Ammo boxes for this weapon last a long time. Their negligible energy drain and low RoF give Terran/ATF corvettes a great capacity for sustained firepower.
