Component:container-bank-launcher
In Game Description
A rapid refitting of the cargo racks found on container ships has turned them into a terrifying weapon. The adition of explosive connections, as well as programming and ignition circuits, has allowed these once-simple truss frames to support hundreds[1] of CM-4 cargo container missiles and other utility variations

Notes
Unlike other VLS which can carry their capacity in number of differing missile types (a 64-cell VLS-2 can carry 64 distinct types of missile, 1 of each), Container Banks come in bank-stacks of 24 at a time. This means that each set of 24 must be the same missile; for example, a 20x5x20 mount on a Moorline can carry 2 types of missile with up to 24 each (48 total), a 20x5x30 can have up to 3 types of up to 24 each (72).

- ↑ the largest possible mount can only carry 72 containers, however the Moorline can carry multiple arrays amounting to these numbers in total.
- ↑ "Tiling" Mounts, when placed in mounts larger than the listed component size, scale their capacity by the x and z of the hardpoint they are mounted to, but not the y (depth). Not all stats scale with tiling.
- ↑ Missile Launchers cannot use missiles smaller than their size.
- ↑ there is no 20x5x10 mount in game capable of supporting the minimum amount, so the practical minimum is 48, with a practical maximum of 72, on the 20x5x20 and 20x5x30 mounts of the Moorline respectively.
