Is it possible to add to the cobalt Missles? I have a Idea for a Shipmod.

Of course. All you have to do is add a new weapon to the cobalt entity, and probably add a new weapon point to the mesh (unless you want missiles and lasers coming out of the same spot). All of which can technically be done in notepad.

To see it in 3D, you'll need a mesh editor of some kind, but you can convert the mesh files into txt format just like entity files, in which case you'll see a bunch of labeled points such as 'hangar' 'center' etc.

This is crude, and doesn't add new weapon points, but it should work. Just copy and paste this into the Cobalt entity file.
