it would be really fun id you could use it as a laser designator, to steer various missiles while in flight in lieu of a lock. dead fire missiles like mrms and rocket launchers exempt, as well as narcs. but everything else could be guided to some degree. even srms which technically do have guidance systems.
srms would allow for some slow tracking, though missiles would still try to maintain their spacing. artemis srms would fly in a tighter formation and would have slightly faster tracking (though not as good as locking weapons). for streaks it would still be a lock accelerator but would also allow sub targeting of mech components by buffing the probability that missiles will home in on whatever section you have your tag on. rngesus is still in play but you can select what you want them to hit.
other locking missiles (not streaks) can be slaved to the tag in lieu of a missile lock. this would allow you to loose an unlocked salvo of lerms or atms and get them on target during flight while you wait for a lock. it would also allow you to use missiles as an area denial weapon against any location the laser is pointed at. lerms with artemis would get tracking buffs like the srms.
theres also effects for non-missile weapons. for example if you use it with ballistics or ppcs it might compute the lead solution for the target its aimed at, really making those ranged deflection shots easier.
