Upgrade

 * Mechlab Upgrade panel has a Missile Guidance category with two options: Standard / Artemis.
 * The Artemis option will only be selectable if the ‘Mech has missile Hardpoints.
 * The ability to select the upgrade will depend on availability of sufficient Critical Slots and tonnage.


 * Changing options will automatically upgrade/downgrade any existing eligible Missile Weapon and swap any eligible missile ammo to the proper type.
 * The price of the upgrade includes cost of the upgrade itself plus cost for the ammo (if there's not enough in the inventory). Base price is 250,000 CB to install, 125,000 CB to remove the system.
 * MWO does not allow a mixture of launchers that have Artemis and launchers that don't (except Streaks).


 * Mechlab 'Loadout' equip list will only show up Artemis eligible versions of weapons and ammo if the upgrade is installed
