Proposal
I propose implementing the ability to replenish chaff and missiles in player ships while in space. This ability would take place at planet space stations using the /comm with the station, just as you do to repair, land, take missions, etc. This feature should be available to any pilot as long as they have chaff and missile/bombs currently in the characters inventory. This should also be an ability that can only be accessed when you are not currently in PVE/PVP combat.
Justification
I think this should be an implemented feature due to the time wasted having to land, walk to a terminal, replenish from the terminal, launch, re-activate droid commands, reflag if involved in pvp (30 second timer). It makes zero sense that we can fully repair a starship at the station but are unable to replenish munitions. This would benefit pvp fights and pve content (specifically convoys) allowing players to replenish and get back into the fight quickly.
Motivation
As a spacer I think this would be a huge QoL improvement and would not be game breaking in anyway. During pvp battles lots of missiles and chaff are used. It is frustrating having to land and spend at least a few minutes going through the process of running to a starship terminal, clicking to reload everything, launching, droid programs activation, reflagging, to get back into the fight. The same goes for convoys, when you pretty much dump a full load of chaff per convoy because the npc ships launch missiles like it's going out of` style. So, you land to replenish, leaving Dan to die a horrible death. Or you keep on trucking without chaff and just take it like a jailhouse snitch.

I like this idea.

One question about the details.
Should the player have chaff/missiles in their inventory in order for the replenish to work? Or would this bypass that, much like how the station repair bypasses the need to have repair kits in your inventory?

As stated in the opener, the player would need to have the chaff and missiles in the character inventory. There is already a rebel pilot ability that can grant you an in space replenishment, but it is generic chaff and ordinance.
 
As the rebs can do this anywhere, and this requires it to be in the inventory and at a space station, I don't see this stepping on it. Thumbs up.
