I can believe the basic erection or collapsing of the system components might only take 5 minutes, but I guess I don't believe that that's all that's required for complete system operation. I would think various connections, either physical or not would have to be made between the FCS and missile launchers, and that various formalities (system diagnostics, etc) would have to be performed before the system could be termed "operational." The game doesn't really reflect any of this, so I maintain that moving these systems around in the "instant" game timeframe of loading and unloading and even with the 1-turn lag for firing them is sort of gamey. Not a problem, since it is a game.
