Is there a way to do this?

Hi! Long time fan first time poster here. What's the limitation that prevents it? Interceptors are capable but not Skyrangers. How about Lightning or Avenger?

Interceptors can only re-target air-combat, not ground missions.

I imagine Meridian's reason is that it'd mean making battle loadouts at least semi-persistent, so your tanks and armours aren't instantly repaired, equipment restocked from the Sky Shop, temporary stat loss recovered, possibly within minutes. This would mean changing these things, and more:
- HWPs "don't exist individually"
- armors "don't exist individually"
- weapons/items "don't exist individually"
Quite possibly other changes as well.

So a non-cheaty implementation is outside the scope of the OXCE project, and in any case it's probably also too much work for any benefits.
