Missiles as units (a.k.a microdrones)

The problem with mounting a ranged weapon on a drone is twofold. First, as others have pointed out it tends to rush in and ram first, so it often doesn't get to fire. Second, in order to do a reasonable amount of damage with that ONE shot it has to be given insane damage levels. MM needs to fix drones so warheads with 'special' damage types work properly.

I finally had to figure out how to get it to work,
by doing a "workaround" to get unique types to
work properly.....I'll keep it this way
until MM fixes the warhead stuff in a future
patch....

just give it a 4 attack range, and it will
go BLAM BLAM BLAM and then kamikazi in, which
allows you to attack it successfully with your
special weapon, and kill itself, completing
the missile cycle...
