Why not have missile turrets for fighters/bombers? Take up ammo, like regular missiles, except can be on a turret slot. I think all those missilespamming fighters would enjoy it...i know i would...
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.

I'd actually use them then. I hate asymmetrical loadouts, and turrets are usually centered.
Oh man. Rear-firing cannonball turrets? I'd finally have something worth sticking on that rear turret mount on the Raven's Talon.
Or better yet, on the Roc's rear mount.

Only one problem with a backwards firing missile launcher
In case you haven't noticed your velocity adds or subtracts to the missiles velocity...so a cannonball traveling at 91 m/s fired out of the rear of a fighter moving at 200m/s will be moving forward (the direction your ships is moving) at a rate of 109 m/s.
That could just be a fatal flaw in rear mounted missile launchers...
