I've had a stupid idea, but I need to know something before I pursue it.

If you create a missile, then add "huge" to its tags, will it only shoot at capships in essence becoming a proper torpedo?

Starlancer players will get what I mean. :)

Just checked the table - the Helios is tagged as Huge, but can still be locked on to fighters, etc. So no.

Lets get the source code ppl to add something like this then.

Let's see:
"huge" means it can deal the last 10% damage, I believe.
"bomb" means it can be shot down.

Neither of these deal with priority in bombing missions; you need to use good-secondary-time for that. There is a flag that interests me, however- "bomber+" is on the Phoenix V and Trebuchets. I guess that means it's preferred for attacking bombers. Can this be extended to "fighter+" "turret+" and "capital+"?
