I have a large slow ship with only a few missiles loaded as maximum, so I'm not in a very good situation to fight. I avoid plain fighting & assassination missions, but I will take reconnaissance and communication cut/attacked missions (I also take insured delivery and dangerous passage missions which often involve mild fighting). I would feel better at fighting if there was a way to launch a few missiles then flee a few minutes for the time it take for some crew to run to the cargo bay pick up a missile in a well padded crate, bring it to the missile bay, have the crane pick it up, then put the warhead on (separate section in the crate), then load it, repeating a few times then resume fighting.
I've never seen any ship beside mine using a missile, but if one could, I'd like for it to be given the same opportunity if it's maximum missile count was low but its difficulty was high enough to warrant more missiles.
Thank you for your consideration
