How to use in your fleet
The MLRS fires 8 rockets per salvo. DPS calculations include all 8.
This ship-type is a general force-multiplier due to their strong cap-DPS and low bonuses. Although MLRS seem to be a cousin of the Missile Frigate with a subset of bonuses, they are surprisingly not Fighter counters. This is because that the two crafts possess bonuses against each other and thus result in a near-draw. It is one of the few ships that has no obvious triangle-ship counter.
How to counter when in the AI fleet
An average AI unlock. Their slow speed and a shorter range than Missile Frigates can be utilised by kiting and attrition tactics in friendly wormholes, but can easily dish out the pain once ships get into range. Obviously, shots are nullifiable through Counter Missile Turrets, but this is usually unnecessary when facing just MLRS in an average game situation.
