I was thinking about MISSILE TURRETS...what about making turrets for missiles? Missile launcher turrets, something like this...

We could have rocket launchers for missile dedicated slots instead of anonymous invisible weapons...It would be great!

I do not think the engine supports movable missile turrets but it is certainly possible to place missile launch points at places on the model that look like they should fire missiles.

You can actually get the turrets to shoot the missile model as a bullet and even get some missile like flight. You can even get them to launch from the missile turret launch points and display missile explosion effects.

The game seems to have an issue with AI and things beyond 10km.
It was ridiculously fun to see a "bullet" version of an M7M veritably vaporize an entire xenon fleet though.

You can't get animated missilelaunchers. Only static launchslots modelled into the ship/ as extra body . Because the Missile will always be fired in the standard direction the turret faces.

If you just want some ships to shoot missiles instead of lasers, like M7M or M8 do, thats simple... your ship can't have front weapons though.

You could make a laser that looks like a missile, but doesnt behave like a missile. So its kinda pointless.

Modern navies have static missile launchers now, so they don't have to be a turret, just a static stack.

cruise missile launcher- BrahMos
