I recently created a component that has similar characteristic...eXternal Ordnance...I must admit the idea was originally from Starfire. Not too sure about play balance. Was planning to check it out over the weekend.

Check out the stats below.... Highlights are:-
a) "Tonnage space taken" is 40% of a normal missle.
b)"Tonnage Structure" is only 5; very fragile.
c)Mineral cost is 60% of a normal missle.
d)Count as "armor"; will be damaged first.
e)Range has been reduced by 2 hex compared against a normal missle of the same tech level.
d)Reload time is 30; i.e. one shot per combat engagement.
f)Can only be installed on a ship or base.

Comments?
