While I understand the idea, this has already kinda been implemented by the decrease ammo available for missiles for example.
If your goal is to reduce the amount of spam then they have done so already.
For single-man craft like fighters and bombers you're right. However for bigger ships, it's perfectly reasonable to store more ammunition in the cargo hold. In real life they entire 'cargo holds' dedicated strictly to storing ammunition. There's really no magical barrier preventing you from using a cargo hold as an ammunition storage area. If you'd rather store missiles over extra fuel, why not? So, from a logic point of view this idea is perfectly valid for anything bigger than a bomber. As the crew would simply move the projectiles from the store rooms to the launchers as needed.
