This missile uses a new development of LDA field stability technology, an inhibitor device that pulses out the LDA shield it hits for a short while.
Ideal for opening the defences of heavy vessels like cruisers, which usually pack two shields per facing.
The inhibit effect only lasts a few seconds, but the area of localised distortion causes LDA shields to collapse ineffectually instead of blocking threats. Duration is based on the energy and processor power of the ship as they struggle to overcome the distortion and restabilize the shields.
