Missiles as units (a.k.a microdrones)

[geoschmo]

So what sort of cost do you think should be involved here. Should a missle cost less/more/the same as a mine for example?

Thankfully with Se4 cargo units there is no relationship between cargo capacity and size of the caro component. You can hold 150KT worth of missles and only take up 10Kt of space on the ship if you want. So the limiting factor of the missle bodies would be how many components to you allow to fit on it.

Jeez, not just ECM, you could have missles with shields. And then different types of PDC that skip normal shields. A new tech race!

And this would probably allow missles already launched to find new targets if the initial one is destroyed. I haven't used Drones enough in combat to know that for sure. Time to do some testing...

One thing though. Most standard weapons can target drones and not seekers. You would I guess want to change these weapons so they cannot target drones?
