      I've been trying to make a weapon that uses Ammo but that doesnt need a launcher?
      ie Self-mounting plasma Missiles. I am sure I am missing a really obvious way to do this, but I cant figure it out. =

      One way I was thinking would be to give every player an "invisable" launcher on every ship in the game.

      Make a launcher that is free and weighs nothing.

      And then call it 'Weapons systems software upgrade' or something along those lines to explain why it's massless and why it allows you to launch the missiles. You might want to give it a low tens of thousands cost.

      you could make the ammo outfit grant a launcher outfit (called something like "mounting bracket"), but then you'd have to make a cleanup cron which would ensure that the mounting brackets go away when you don't have any more ammo. it would probably be easier to do it your way, though, and give every ship a launcher, possibly with an unrelated name
