2017-04-21 Space Vehicle Launch and Recovery Systems: Space Vehicle Launch System Space vehicle launchers are now operational. Call for launch using new Request Launch vehicle command. Default key binding is Shift+M. Any non-enemy vehicle can request launch. Vehicle can be anywhere aboard the ship to call for launch. Does not have to be in a parking spot or special room. Vehicle is moved/teleported to the launcher and launched after a pause of about 3 seconds. Launch tube door is opened automatically. Vehicle launch pad vector must penetrate the door in the design to make this association. Vehicle launches along the launch vector, unobstructed by the hull of the launching vessel. (Theoretically, no door or tube would be required, though this might seem weird and it has not been tested in this configuration.) Exit velocity of the vehicle is 50m/s plus the length of the launch vector, in meters per second. Launch lighting system effect begins at the exit end of the launch vector. The beam length is 500m. Ship makes radio calls throughout this process, on the Hail channel, at Hail range.
