Are autotargetting SMLs legal?

Nelus4 builds a lot of SMLs and they shoot on their own.

SML = Strategic missile launcher = nuke
TML = Tactical missile launcher = t2 stationary missile launcher with 6k dmg per missile
he build TMLs and queued bunch of random orders, there was no autotargetting from what i can see.Screenshot_2018.png

Have watched the replay and can confirm what ZLO said:

The player has queued up random attack orders from the TMLs into the fog and used the distribution-orders-key to "create a barrage"

Expensive and inefficient way to use TML's, but then again it's Astro so not unexpected.

"Design is an iterative process. The required number of iterations is one more than the number you have currently done. This is true at any point in time."

See all my projects:

It's an interesting tactic that I might try someday - a tac missile costs about the same mass as a T2 tank, but if you fire them into a resting formation of t2 you can take ~4 T2 out per hit, and vs T3 in staging area might be decisively positive trade. Fairly flexible asset too.

How did he does it? I can spread the missiles only when the missle stock is empty and they are still in production. Othervise the TML's reset their orders, if I give more than 3 targets via distribute orders?

@taxesaretheft You don't need to use distribute orders, you can just queue up normal attack orders.

"Design is an iterative process. The required number of iterations is one more than the number you have currently done. This is true at any point in time."

See all my projects:

I thought he spread the damage... but he just fired mass of 2 T3 maxes, mutliple times on one spot.
The idea is so absurd @IndexLibrorum that I didn't get the case.^^ Thx for pointing it out.

irreal missiles are everywhere
