A general-use missile pod ZBC-sponsored engineers designed for a more spectacular fight, this mounts on a wide variety of zoids and gives them a spiffy extra kick. The missile pod itself is a meter-long. It is a hexagonal prism, the front end featuring eight holes for the missiles to fly out and a pair of infrared lasers to paint the target. The missiles are keyed to fire in salvoes of eight, with plenty of smoke and bright engine flares. They accelerate up to Mach Two before reaching a meter away from the zoid, following the infrared laser to their target. The warheads are standard for AAMs, about half a standard warhead's blast radius, consequently packing a more focused blast, and a bit sluggish on the reaction. The launching zoid has to keep facing in the general direction of the target, lest the infrared lasers lose their mark and the missiles lose their target. Each pod holds enough ammunition for two salvoes. Those zoids who can mount two must purchase the second.
