[edit] Overview
The Tempest Missile is a medium tracking munition that is improved in effectiveness by its ability to automatically re-acquire a target. Otherwise, it is reasonably quick and powerful enough to be a serious problem to any fighters.
[edit] Commentary
The Tempest is hailed as an extremely useful munition due primarily to its ability to re-acquire targets; it is otherwise average for its class and has the drawback of taking up a very large cargo volume. Its relatively good range mean that a number can be unloaded into a large dogfight when the launching ship is engaging, and will likely last long enough to destroy several ships before they run out of fuel.
