I like this idea a lot, or repair drones, but engineers need some type of secondary weapon heal.

I agree with the concept of a healing missile, but I’m probably gonna stick to minefields for my sappers,

 

+1 anyways, also the missile should be able to destroy enemy deployables, drones, and a few other things (grav anomalies etc)

They are modules following missiles mechanics.

They are Missiles but considering the Cartridge reload and the limitation imposed by missile slot itself in battle, they made the choice to give more missiles through modules.

 

SuperNova Torpedo / Squall Launcher / Mine Network / Swarm Missile / Protector Torpedo / Energy Compensating Projectile are new missiles under the form of Module.

 

Because if they had put them in missile slot, Hello the tons of post complaining about new toys being countered by Anti-Missile Shield / Active Missile Shield / MS Dome / Remote Detonator or the lack of defensive tools like drones and Minelayers.

 

It would also have made the “Mass Drone booster” pointless
