General

The NET Missile fires a continuous stream of stasis-inducing projectiles at its enemies from medium-long range, which explode on impact.

Strategy and Setup

Advantages

Unlike all other stasis weapons before it, the NET Missile has a consistent firing pattern without a long cooldown period, enabling it to quickly switch targets and immobilize ships that are far apart from each other.

It also has a decent maximum range as a Tier 8 weapon and travels quickly enough that it rarely misses. Its minimum range is small enough to be negligible.

Disadvantages

The main disadvantage of this weapon is its extremely low DPS in comparison to other Tier 8 weapons. Since the weapon has no spread, it is pointless to equip more than one NET Missile to the same ship.

It also has a stasis cooldown, meaning that enemies become immune to stasis for 5 seconds after the stasis from this weapon wears off (10 second cooldown minus 5 second duration). As a result, it is only possible to slow enemies for a maximum of half the time.

Trivia

• The NET Missile is the first stasis weapon for ships released after the Void NET Burst Torpedo.
• It is the only Tier 8 weapon without RPS variants that deal Alien, Plasma and Blight damage.
