Disposable Interceptor

[Vangrimar1]

Is it possible to use the mechanics of self-destruction of a ship to create a cruise missile? I want self-destruction to be forced to launch during the interception, regardless of the outcome of the battle.

This is a beautiful idea.
you could change missile defenses to a special type of hangar, and then use the missiles to proactively shoot at the aliens, making them more of a tactical choice.
obviously give them a very short range.

yeah I love it. no idea bout how to do it though.

I've also been considering using the Missile Defence facility as a hanger for single use missle crafts. I think it could be an interesting defencive option when the aliens send a battleship on a retaliation mission.

It would be excellent if this type of interceptor could only be given a target when first launched and was deleted if the current target ever changed to "Return to base".

So long as the craft's weapon can be coded to deal damage to the craft equipping it when it fires something like this could be possible.

Perhaps it could be done via scripting?

Can you please stop writing every post with "black glow" font Martian? It's quite annoying...

As you wish.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

I know missiles is a thing to some extent, but I don't know the details. Check out TechComm for a mod that uses geoscape missiles.
