Default Re: Missiles as units (a.k.a microdrones)

Hi again,
I lied. Here are some more of my blatherings

As to the use of micro vs. macro drones.
I think (tho my brain is tired, so it's efficiency is pretty low right now) that careful planning can distinguish between the two.
i) macro drone components will be kept off the microdrones becaues the components for macro drones are probably going to be too large to fit on the micro drones/missiles.
ii) make the micro drone components undesirable for macro drones by introducing extreme limitations on the micro components. ie. cannot fire on satellites, cannot have more than one of the component (or two, three etc. with the next patch), undesirably short weapons firing ranges on micro components, other ideas???
iii) is it possible to help the AI out by pre-programing their design choices and weapon preferences? Just make the micro components a less prefered item by giving them lower roman numerals?
