Nova Burst Pod
As a new anti-fighter countermeasure for our capital ships, this combat system is unmatched. Whenever a group of ships approaches within range, a sphere covered with beam emitters fires a 30 second stream from each. Covering an entire facing of the ship with fire, the combat movements of the ship itself ensure that at least a few will come into contact with the enemy hulls, while the simplicity of a fixed fire system reduces maintenance crew requirements and increases combat survivability. In swarm situations this system is extremely effective, especially with groups of ships equipped with multiple pods.
