Countermeasures on Liberty Caps

[AeternusDoleo]

Heavy CM has 1500 range. CMs I believe come to a dead stop shortly after being dropped. The LABC is around 200M in length and chugs along at 90m/s. So if the CM is as you say halfway across the ship, it should clear your own hull 1 second after launch. It could take longer if it is also oriented the wrong way - if the muzzle velocity is towards the front, that could cause it to fail. I'll check for both and shove that CM somewhere aft on the ship - it's where CMs belong anyway.

[Edit] Current placement was indeed rather illogical. I've moved the hardpoint to the big clamp above the main engine for 4.86, which brings it in line with conventional hardpoint placement.
