I was watching a few videos on the logic modules and how some people are messing around with them. One such video was a guy who set up a small escape pod that launched a docked ship out into space after pushing a button which I thought was kinda cool. Then it got me thinking, so I wanted to ask here if what I was thinking was even possible and if so, would it be effective at all.
The idea would be to have a a few dozen small shuttles or drones set up along exit ports of your ship. These would have the bare minimum number of blocks to contain an AI unit, one missile weapon with accompanying multi warhead modifier, and faction module for friend of foe capability, and just enough engine and storage modules to make it work.
Once you get in combat, exit your core temporarily and push a launch button. Then get back in your core to control your primary ship. Meanwhile your main ship launches dozens of these tiny ships which begin launching cluster packs of small missiles at enemy ships while hopefully cluttering up enemy targeting with the new small ship contacts.
Possible, viable?
