Say... are bases still lumped under "ships" for weapon targeting purposes? Especially now that you can specify vehicle types in a list, it would be kind of irksome if "ships" meant "ships" for design and "ships/bases" for targeting...
(And wouldn't it be neat if you had a mod where all the bases were really huge compared to the ships, or you want to keep your speed-1 Anti-Base Bombardment Missiles from firing on ships (which can evade them by means of a reverse missile dance), so it would make sense to have weapons that could target bases but not ships (or vice versa)?
