General Information

The missile defence module provides the base with a missile silo that launches rockets at an incoming retaliator Battleship.

Each salvo of missiles provided by the missile defence module does not do much damage, but it is the cheapest defence module that can be produced and can be built rapidly. It also has the lowest defence module upkeep cost.

If there's space, a battery of Missile Defences modules coupled with a Grav Shield can cause a signficant amount of damage to a battleship, with a possibility of obtaining a greater chance of hit success than a single Fusion or Plasma defence module. However, a large battery of missile defence modules can unnecessarily increase the size of the base.

The one feature of the missile defences module that puts it above the others is its unique
