Missile Rack

Template:Quote The Missile Rack is a weapon module that launches dumbfire, explosive-tipped missiles. When triggered, it fires out an unguided missile that will travel in a straight line in the direction of the HUD crosshairs and remain on that path until it strikes an object, or is itself shot down by weapons fire or a Point Defence Turret. Dumbfire missiles travel faster and inflict more damage than seeker missiles, and are most effective against the unshielded hulls of ships, but their lack of guidance makes them more challenging to use against smaller vessels.

Missile Rack (Class 1)

Compared to most other ship-based weaponry, dumbfire missiles are also useful against ground targets in On Foot activities due to their high firepower, large area of effect, and relative ease of use. Guardian Sentinels in particular are quite vulnerable due to their lack of shielding.

Notes

The 1B and 2B racks are fully obsolete as they are identical to their Advanced counterparts in every way except for the latter's higher max ammo count and optional AX capability.

Pre-Engineered Missile Racks

Various Community Goals offered pre-engineered missile racks as a reward.

In October 3306 Liz Ryder offered medium size lightweight, high capacity seeker racks with the thermal cascade experimental effect to users supporting Liz Ryder during the Community Goal^[1]. These seeker racks were later made available for purchase at technology brokers during another community goal in Febuary 3307^[2].

In October 3307 Yuri Grom offered medium sized high capacity, increased fire rate with the drag munitions experimental effect for the top 75% tier of the community goal^[3]^[4].

In June 3311 Archon Delaine and Arissa Lavigny-Duval both offered medium and large sized high capacity, sturdy seeker racks with the FSD Interrupt experimental effect^[5]^[6].
