=== In Game Description ===
Swinging arm launchers are an antiquated missile launcher design which saw brief use across the alliance fleet before the adoption of the now-ubiquitous vertical launching systems. This style of launcher features a turreted arm which aligns with a magazine access hatch in the base to load a single missile, then points at the target before firing.

The SALS-2 launcher can fire a single missile at a time, and draws its ammunition from the ship's internal storage.

=== Notes ===
-Will enforce hot launch upon whatever missile is fired, regardless of it's configuration

-If configured to only fire within limits, the launcher can fire slightly below minimum depression by allowing the missile to turn after launch to the ordered angle like other launchers, as long as the ordered point is above ~0 degrees elevation and in line of sight. The existence of a vertical blindspot does prohibit fire at extremely high angles as well (>85 degrees), which does not share this behaviour.

-Unlike other launchers such as MLS, VLS, TLS etc. The SALS will always sit in a "unloaded" state. Upon being ordered to fire, it will:

1: Program the missile (Defensively fired missiles may be instantly programmed like with other launchers)

2: Spend approx. 3.5s loading the missile, which always sets the launcher to a near-vertical position when complete

3: Train the missile from it's loading position then fire.
