Default Re: PPB is the best weapon in the game. Discuss.

QUOTE]This is something I would really like to see. The ability to target specifc ships based on what components they have. I can't think of a better way to stop an enemy cold than to take out his minesweepers, or PD ships, or his supply ships. Fighters or escorts that ignore everything else and head straight for the carriers. That could really cause problems when faced with overwhelming odds.

I dont think this would be hard to do, to an extent. u can target specific ship sizes, but not components. Just make a custom strategy, and make the strat ignore everything except carriers (for example).

Besides, even if u could target ships carrying specific components, I could fool the strategy by putting one PD cannon (for example) on every ship; which isn't a bad idea anyway, just in case the ai kills off my specialty ship..
