A more advanced version of the gun platform, the Missile Platform unleashes heavy missile salvos at any Frigate or
Capital Ship within range. Once deployed it cannot be moved again.
Overview[]
These platforms are "single-burn" like probes, in that they can be given a move command, but only once; thereafter, they are immobile.
However, if not given a move command, they assume parade formation with and follow whatever ship builds them, so indirectly you can move them all you like, as long as you keep them with the mothership that built them.
Trivia[]
- They function similarly to the deployables used by the Coalition of the Northern Kiithid in Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak.
- They are the Vaygr counterpart to the Hiigaran Ion Platform as they are both dedicated anti-ship weapons. The big difference, is that the missiles of the Vaygr could home, which makes it very effective in ensuring a near 100% hit rate, at the expanse of being less effective at longer ranges.
