Fast Startup Module

An additional component for the control system which constantly checks the missile's status and keeps the system in a pre-warmed state while in battle. This eliminates much of the normal startup time for a missile, but adds a risk of the missile failing on launch.

This module reduced programming time for missile strikes by 66% when launching those missiles equipped with the module, but incurs a 20% failure rate. Missiles which fail leave the tubes with engines on but no guidance and random movement before self destructing after a few seconds. Support modules like SSJ and BSSJ will continue to activate regardless, while decoy launchers, whose activation is tied to guidance, will not. Colloquially known as "Fast Boot", frequently shortened to FB.
