Vertical Missile Launcher
I've always frowned to see that missiles have yet to be effectively used on capital ships, especially the larger ones. What i though was a +7km support weapon. High damage, limited ammo pool, long reload speeds, great tracking, long range, high cost. Although this came to a thought for lighter capitals to effectively keep at a longer range away from heavier variants, but heres a few notes i found when making them. This isnt a finished product and will need a tonne of balancing to even be considered to be implemented.

- The missile will fire at a upwards 90-Degree angle of the turret, if the turret is placed on a port-side or starboard facing outwards from the ship, it will fire in that direction.
- Target must be above the launch direction, or the missile wont track. (180 degree tracking efficiency)
- Chance to hit may vary, increasing with the targets position relative to the turrets upwards firing angle.
- Missiles can be countered by Flak / CD / CM. (Dodging is harder at longer ranges)
- Range of the missiles is in the range of 4Km - 10km. Anything closer 4Km will miss, the closer the range of the target, the higher chance to miss.
