I noticed that I can not instantly change my ammo or missile type from a mobile depot like I can in station, is this intended?

I think this is the trade-off for being able to use the depot during combat.

It's the way in-space fitting works. Use an Orca / Rorqual / Carrier / Titan's refitting service and you'll find the same thing happens. It's to keep people from bypassing traditional reload mechanics while in space.

this is to prevent insta reloads. Just imagine if bombers could instantly reload their bombs and spam them non stop.

Bombers have a cooldown on bomb launching aswel, not just reloading

One interesting thing is the depot allows you to move drones from cargo to drone bay. That will really help in handling NPC aggro killing your drones and making mission completion difficult.
