The caustic sink launcher is a powerful tech broker variant of the heat sink launcher which operates using different mechanics from its counterpart. Where the heat sink launcher dumps a fixed amount of heat from within a ship's systems, the caustic sink absorbs caustic damage, preventing it until one charge reaches capacity, at which point the pilot can eject it.

I highly recommend that all players interested in AX combat or Maelstrom exploration chase this device as a priority. Over the course of a battle it will save a ton of hull, helps close engagement distances by eliminating a significant threat, and frees up ships to spec more hull or module protection. It's easy to learn, can be readily integrated into most AX builds, and takes a major weapon of the enemy off the table.
