Detonating a Missle?

[Begle1]

If one wanted to detonate a planet buster over a given square, and there wasn't a target to attack in that square, can he do it?

I've never been able to figure that one out.

And how is one supposed to see opposing factions' social engineering choices, and how is one supposed to tell another faction's diplomatic status? Do you have to use probe teams to infiltrate the datalinks every turn that you want to know?

Thanks... Despite playing on and off for 10 years, I've never picked up on those items...

I don't think this is possible.

Open the COMMLINK menu, right-click on an infiltrated faction and select Faction Profile. The information you seek will be displayed.

I cannot give enough thanks for the COMMLINK advice... That has bugged the crap out of me for what, 10 years now?


It's stupid that you can't detonate the missile where ever you want. For the Tectonic and Fungus missiles in Crossfire you press the "I" key and the blow up where-ever; if there was a way to detonate planet busters, I'm sure that'd be it.
