one of the most ambitious modding ideas ever?

[Kingcipher1]

This idea may be crazy but I like to get in over my head. So something that constantly irked me was the super slow albeit likely realistic time between when you call in a minuteman artillery strike and the time it reaches the are you designated it, (i run mods that buff the enemies and adds more, because endgame) so then i got to thinking "we need something that can take out hard targets that isn't half a millennia old, so how do we do this?"

 

Tactical Missile launch stations built at settlements: something not crazy over the top more in keeping with modern day missile systems, a control and launch station on perhaps a trailer that can receive target Info and launch these missiles (possibly make it have to be manned by a settler?)

 

how to make it lore friendly - so anyone who has played the story knows that Wilson Atomatoys had a secret defense contract to build weapons under the guise of civilian manufacturing, lets say maybe Corvega did as well to build a tractor drawn or self propelled Missile system, and there's a secret hatch in the Corvega Assembly Plant that leads to the clandestine assembly line for this weapon, this would be also where you would get the blueprints to build it yourself

 

how to make it versatile and not unrealistically OP - the missiles and the launch station/launcher would be construct-able (maybe even use something in contraptions to make the process more streamlined?) but would cost a fair bit of supplies to build one, give it unlimited range but have the Time on Target reflect the (short) travel time fro it's launch site, the missiles could be built with conventional, plasma or tactical nuclear payloads

 

How it would be called in - this is what im still brainstorming, signal smoke grenade and even the call box for yangtzee missiles require you to get too close in my opinion, and you don't want to be in the area when these missiles strike, my idea was perhaps some sort of small weapon that fired a GPS transponder and then you could call in the attack via broadcast from a holotape in your pip boy

 

at this moment im still brainstorming and looking at models so something like this would be a massive undertaking and probably wouldn't be out until after nuka world but it is my big idea, thoughts?
