#73 tactical non-marine missiles

[Jeff Cotter]

One bug, one inconsistancy, one suggestion

Bug: tactical non-marine missiles interdict their owner's
planes when transported and commodities when moved.
They do not interdict owner's lands when marched.

Inconsistancy: intercept missiles will not chase planes
that cost < $1000, however tactical non-marine missiles
will interdict the softest land unit irrestpective of cost.
This makes it hard to design anti-tank type missiles.

Suggestion: I suggest another capability analagous
to "marine", perhaps called "anti-armor" or similar, that
restricts tactical non-marine units to
interdicting/attacking land units only.

Further Comment: The reported bug is artifact of players
being declared hostile toward themselves. (This does not
normally happen, except deliberately by deities.) Therefore,
withdraw it as a bug and make it a request as such:

Inconvenience: Planes and lands (and possibly ships and
forts) should not interdict their owners regardless of their
owner's psychological well being.

Players can't declare relations to themselves. Deities can
shoot themselves in the foot.

The non-bug part is a valid RFE.
