How to use in your fleet
Munitions Boosters provide damage multipliers to the rest of your fleet, and somewhat more effective than fleet starships in this manner. They are particular suitable for boosting heavy-hitting ships, especially as each ship is limited in the number of allies that it can boost. Therefore, more boosters will support a larger fleet.
Being slow, the best use for a lazy player is to utilise group-move until actual engagement happens, or pair them with vessels of similar speed. Offensive equivalent to Armor Boosters.
How to counter when in the AI fleet
Under most circumstances, you will want to take these out without mercy. The contribution of one munitions booster is larger than any individual fleet ship in a large battle. A set of munition boosters in an attack wave on their own is a laughing stock (and a good reason to switch to schizophrenic waves), so don't let any survive to make matters worse another day.
