Cruiser Command

This is a bit of a spillover from my topic of moving missiles to Nav, but the missile problem would be solved if the AI on weapons could have the ability to launch missiles. This way missiles can be used in both full and shorthanded games.

This is something I'd like to add. I'll see what I can do.

Oo not sure, but I doubt it would be as easy as it would be in Little Big Planet to make a missile fire when you point at something :p
(in other words, if this was LBP2, even I could make this :p but, many aspects of the editor for starcraft still escape me :p)

that would be a lot of AI tweaking...

Simplified speaking, you draw a line from the front of the BC with the length of the missile range, then if the enemy BC touches it, the AI fires missiles.
Much more than that is not needed, of course it'll miss sometimes but it's not supposed to be a 100% human replacement on weapons, I think.
I doubt it would be more than 3-5 hours of work, even less if you really know the code and editor.

On topic: that addition would be nice
It would make missiles slightly more useful.

you also have to make missile priority.

Which missiles to fire first. which missile to fire in which situation. etc

What I'm going to do is to have a checkbox in the drone console which says: "Fire missiles". If it's checked, it'll fire missiles when it's decently confident that it'll hit.

can it atleast check for shield?

Not in version 1.

Love the new launch missiles check box. I've already used it in a few games. It works nicely. It really helped out in low player games. It was a slow day so the best we could do was a few 3v3 and a 3v4. But at least we got to use missiles
