Stasis Bomb Launcher (Apocalypse)

An alien missile launcher, that fires missiles that create a stasis field upon impact.

The field causes any target hit by the missile to become "frozen" for a few seconds, making the target very vulnerable to incoming fire and unable to avoid any attacks until the field breaks down. Frozen targets appear very pale for the duration of the stasis field.

While the missile might not be able to track the most agile targets it is a severe threat to anything cumbersome enough not able to dodge the missiles.

Though an X-COM ship can be momentarily immobilized if caught in a stassis missile's stasis field, the ship's on-board manual override system is not frozen. Moving the vehicle will be impossible but the remote operator can man the ship's weapons until the ship AI reboots.
