--AF HQ--

Phantom: So no Belkan lasers? Damn..... What about a cluster missile idea? Have an MCM Emptied of its explosives and filled with MK44 Missiles instead?

Director: It would work, but we'd need to find a way to have the MK44s strapped on the missile and simultaneously launch out. Also, due to the speed of the MCMs, they may fall off the MCM.

Phantom: Hmm. Wait...what if we use a "shotgun shell" design? The MCM's tip pops open when it contacts the target. Then, the MK44s fly out and deal a crap ton of damage.

-The Director pauses-

Director: It works.

3 Days later.

Director: We ready for testing?

Scientist: Yep. Thing is, one of the MCMs cap won't pop out fast enough.

Director: It'll have to do for now.

-A decommissioned Enlighten class flying ship appears.-

Scientist: We can begin testing now.

-The crew gets behind a wall of transparent 24/10/2 armor. A missile flies from the Enlighten and slams into the ground 2km away with several explosions near it. The crew cheers: it worked, although not a big explosion as they want. Then, a 4 Bricks of 24/10/2 armor are stacked and a 2nd McM flies into it. It cracked the first one and the mk44 missiles burst through the other 3, still, not a big explosion-

Director: I will send this to the Improvement center. This is a good day, men.

2 Days after the testing

Improvement guy: Ok, so the tests were great, but here's the thing: The "cap" won't pop out fast enough. I'd recommend using fins to guide the air to lift the cap open, also using a computer system to hold the cap down, that way it don't pop out too early.

Director: Got it, anything else?

Improvement Guy: Instead of using mk44 missiles, use some other projectiles with better fins, smaller but stronger payload, and have them more tightly or loosely packed: Tightly for a small area, or loosely to affect larger areas.

Director: I will begin production immediately. And email Phantom the results.

OOC: I believe this is my longest post so far. Also, got rid of Belkan lasers in favor of Shotgun missiles. And yes, it is pretty easy to make:

1.) Empty an MCM

2.) Modify Tip of MCM to pop out on contact

3.) Load the depleted McM with Missiles, torpedoes, mines or bombs.

4.) Launch the MC

5.) Watch the carnage.
