For single launch missile carriers are considered to technically be anti-fortress support equipment and not combat ships. By that logic... why not strap as many missile to a basic space worthy hunk of metal?

At 500 missiles per pod, the Avalanche can fire an overwhelming 6000 missiles at once, more than enough to overwhelm any defense screens! These are quite basic though, with just enough computing power to track targets independently and maintain distance as not to cause chain detonations. Still, the first time he deployed this beast in a wargame against Grand Admiral Wayland, he simulated the destruction of half of a fleet, showing that throwing numbers rather than quality worked as well in space as it did on the ground.
