Description
A combat-rated autoloader that provides a limited number of reloads to missile weapons installed in small missile mounts. Does not affect weapons that do not use ammo or already regenerate it, or weapons that are mounted in any other kind of weapon slot. The number of missiles reloaded is not affected by skills or hullmods that increase missile weapon ammo capacity. A partial reload is possible when running out of capacity. After a reload, the weapon requires an extra 5 seconds, in addition to its normal cooldown, before it can fire again.
S-mod penalty: Increases the post-reload cooldown to 10 seconds.

Overview

Missile Autoloader is a hullmod that can be installed on any ship.

The Missile Autoloader provides a limited number of reloads out of a shared pool of reload capacity points to missile weapons installed in small missile mounts on the ship. The cost of a single reload depends on the weapon, with higher OP cost missile weapons such as Sabot SRMs generally requiring more points to reload. The reload capacity is determined by the ship size and the number of small missile mounts it has; the fewer small missile slots a ship has relative to its hull size, the higher its reload capacity.
