Is there a maximum number of 9 hardpoints?[&:]

I don't believe there is any upper limit on the number of hardpoints for a ship design.
That said, there is only room for eight (8) of them to be edited in the loadout screens.

Hmm, there's an idea- It'd be nice if there were loadpoint groups?

"loadpoint groups" ? What does that mean?

Hardpoints that can mixes of weapons. Like the external mounts
on the F-22.

From the linked picture, the F-22 only hangs multiple types of weapons on a single hardpoint in ferry configuration. That means that the missiles can't be launched, they're just be hauled as cargo. Notice that the missiles in ferry configuration only have downward pointing fins (probably because there isn't underwing clearance for the top fins when the missiles are strapped to the side of the hardpoint).

Actually, what I was thinking of with hardpoint groups (typo earlier, sorry), was that you could select one weapon on the selection screen and that would devolve onto multipler hardpoints. But that isn't really necessary if we can put >1 missile on one hardpoint, which it seems we can... Um, how do we do that? Like how the SRM has 2/hardpoint.

I'm betting it requires bizarre rituals involving animal sacrifice.

I take it it's these 'attachment' parameters that determine where the various visible stores appear?

Yeah, the two things you need to do are to set the ammo parameter to something greater than one, and to define as many attachment points as there are missiles.
