I also would like for the AMTs to be a variant of either the SML or MT
Missile systems - also, I don't see why Jon's 'e-mine' mechanic could
be used as a variant load out for SMs or MTMs (in fact, IIRC, the
original proposal for the Nova Salvo Missile, the "Anti-Matter Salvo
Missile" [WotW #1 IIRC] did use an e-mine like mechanic).
Having ATMs as variant SMs or MTMs would make them more versatile as
well, as the launcher could be loaded with other types if required.
