The Light Surface to Air Missile tower is a direct answer to enemy bombers (and anything that flies really) that are harassing the territory occupied by Creeper from the skies. Being light, it has a very fast lock-on acquisition, rotation speed, and good range while also being easy to quickly deploy by the construction mechanisms within the Creeper among the VWC project. However, its reload time is rather slow but this ensures the Light SAM requires minimal power.

• Takes exactly 1 in-game second to lock on and fire.
• Total salvo damage of 5.28.
• Very fast and agile missile projectile.
• Very fast rotation speed.
• Relatively long reload time.
• Uses 2 power.
• Fires in a salvo over a single in-game second.
• Has limited altitude range of 65.0 above its position. Any units flying more than 65.0 cells above the Light SAM are outside of range. This is mostly only important against VAU units when Light SAMs are placed at a terrain height of 1 and are attempting to shoot at VAUs that are attacking a massive Creeper hold which has Creeper depth of over 20.
• The Light SAM's missiles can still miss! This is entirely dependent if the target does evasive maneuvers. Only VAU Fighters tend to dodge. Normal bombers can dodge after completing their bombing run as they, rather quickly, reorientate themselves to line-up another bombing run or return to the airfield.
• Fired projectiles have very limited life time. This means the missiles have only one true chance to hit their mark. If they are lucky, they may be able to come back around to try again before detonating from time-out though they would of likely entered a stalled spiral (constantly orbiting the target), making these “extra chances” futile anyways.
• Multiple are required to cause lasting damage to VAUs. This will also take a good amount of time to inflict said lasting damage. A heavier SAM was thought of but has seen no success among the VWC project.
• Can fire at a wide variety of flying objects. This is done using a blacklist instead of a whitelist so in the event the Light SAM targets an unprefered target like a fast-moving energy projectile, that projectile needs to be blacklisted as an illegal target of the Light SAM so it doesn't become obsessed with wasting shots at such targets. This makes the Light SAM a very indiscriminate shooter.
• Activation time is equal to the reload time. This makes the Light SAM very deployable. See LORE for more details. However, this may not be a lasting feature of the Light SAM (also see LORE for details).
• CAN BE NULLIFIED
• CAN BE STUNNED
• DAMAGED BY AC (Only in Play As Creeper mode)
• PROJECTILES DESTROYED ON SHIELD CONTACT
• PROJECTILES INTERCEPTED BY SNIPER SHOTS
