How to use in your fleet
The AOE of the Grenade Launcher hits multiple targets within a small range:
Mk. I: 8 targets, 200 range
Mk. II: 10 targets, 300 range
Mk. III: 12 targets, 400 range
Mk. IV: 14 targets, 500 range
Mk. V: 16 targets, 600 range
Because the Grenade Launcher increases the number of targets it hits as you increase its Mark level, it has a higher DPS increase as its Mark level increases then most other ships.
Grenade Launchers serve AOE-attack roles in the player fleet, and are generally used as a damage-dealer. The long reload of the ship and its small-AOE are most useful in defensive situations around wormholes or AI spawn-points. Its principal difference from the Electric Shuttle is a small number of shots necessary to reach maximum damage, keeping this craft away from the "attritioning" category. While it is technically artillery and thus vulnerable to Bombers, these move as fast as Fighters and have no bonuses - allowing them to move well with your fleet.
