The Starshot-8 is a firework launcher which can be used to launch up to 8 fireworks.
It is a smaller version of the Starshot-32.
Usage
The primary use of the Starshot-8 is for entertainment. Its smaller size, mass and cost makes it better suited than the Starshot-32 as an additional 'extra' to add onto an ordinary vessel, rather than being used for a large firework show, for example.
Propulsion
Like the Starshot-32, the Starshot-8 can be used to propel a vessel through KAL-1000 overclocking. However, it is usually better to use the Starshot-32 for this purpose, as it is able to fire more fireworks than the Starshot-8, allowing the vessel to travel much further.
Weapons
The Starshot-8 can also be used to create weapons through KAL-1000 overclocking. Although the Starshot-32 will provide more 'ammunition', it may be desirable to cluster many launchers together. In this case, the Starshot-8 may be a better choice due to its lower mass.
