Mr. Blackwood.
Saying I'm trying to blow up the station is a bit of an over kill. It was only one wall. It could have been a lot worse. The rest of it is still fine; and anyway, look on the bright side, with how long the weapons have been locked away in the box, it must be good to know they still work.... Um.... hypothetically. Of course.
What I was able to learn from the initial test fire is that the projectiles seem to use a matrix of volatile charges that spread a reactive payload over a wide area, causing stress fractures in armour plating. I would assume this is at the cost of reduced effectiveness against shields, bring the type of projectile it is. This would render it all but useless in battle until the shield has dropped. Perhaps paired with shield busters on the ship they are mounted on, or used in conjunction with a ship designed to keep the shields of the enemy vessels down these would be most effective.
Obviously, against unarmoured structures, and finer metal such as the stuff you'd expect to find in..... say.... docking bays on stations; you should expect to not only see stress fractures, but the projectile seems capable of completely destroying what is in its way. Not that we know from first hand experience or anything.
I have found a vessel in the cargo bay. The owner was a freelancer who decided to go for a swim in the vast depths of space when the hole that does not exist, did not appear in the wall. Bless his soul. I'm thinking since he won't need his freighter anymore I may turn it into a test vessel (see? Silver linings). I am so confident in the weapons abilities I might just allow an Enclave prisoner or three the opportunity to try escape the cargo bay of the ship and run for their freedom. Now we both know they will end up crispy in the fire as the ship burns, before they become mummified buddies in space due to the exposure of heat in the vacuum that is. But none of them would expect that to happen.
Maybe I'll start taking bets. What do you think, Mr. Blackwood? How long will they survive?
