Micromissile launcher v1.2.5

Adds a part that launches micromissiles fast. It's designed for use up front as a main, mid-range burst damage weapon.
Micromissiles move swiftly for a few seconds, then run out of fuel and fly straight forward, slowly losing speed.

Compared to HE missiles:
- 50% size and cost, slightly more than half the health, total lifetime, damage, and explosion radius.
- Very short guided thrust time ; same range ; worse long-range aiming, doesn't target behind the launcher (sides are ok).
- The reinforced launcher shoots a lot faster, has a slightly different cost, has normal HP (base launcher has reduced HP), and stores way more missiles.
- As this is meant for burst damage, micromissiles take much longer to activate after assembly than standard HE missiles do.
- Better overall damage-per-second and point-defense resistance.

Balanced for base game.
Must be unlocked.
Extra languages : French, Russian, Spanish. Will add more if someone competent can provide me with the text.

See the collection for other part variants.

• The launcher shoots micromissiles really fast at a target that isn't behind it. However like all missiles, it doesn't require line of sight.
• The missiles fly quickly for just a few seconds;
• Then they run out of fuel, pretty much becoming explosive bullets that slowly lose speed. That's when their exhaust is just grey smoke (see the gif).
For performance-wary users, all in all micromissiles disappear about twice as as fast as HE missiles, and are guided much less time, which should help with lag significantly.

Thanks to the space savings from using small missiles, the launchers are sturdier and less punishing to have destroyed. This opens up more exposed spots.
Since they can't shoot behind themselves, they should be placed on the front or sides, but they're still fragile and dangerous compared to lasers or cannons, so be careful and capitalize on the alpha strike.
Also micromissiles take relatively long to activate once the crew has delivered the parts, so it's recommended to do short strike runs then disengage for maximum safety.
