[UNIT] High Tech Sniper Snafu

[Liquidated]

It's all about the poor High Tech Sniper, which not only needs Superstrong Alloys, a rather late age tech but also bionics, a tech one level lower and the building Optical Targeting

The issue is that the Information Age Optical targeting building is made obsolete by the tech just one level above the Superstrong Alloys tech, Battlefield Sports..

Now this is obviously an oversight but the window is super narrow as it stands to build the Sniper but the Optical Targeting building is the last of the firing ranges.

The fix would be
1. Remove the obsolescence of Orbital Targeting from Battlefield Sports and phase it out in the late transhuman age
2. The less elegant removal of the requirement for the Optical Targeting building from the High Tech Sniper but that's +8 free exp that still valid.

Things got moved around a bit after he was made and based on that and yeah something needs corrected there. The Optical Targeting building should be opened up at the same tech this unit is and obsoleted on the tech past this unit on the same unitline.

It's a can of worms really looking at the units

If there's another level of firing range to replace the Optical Targeting like all the other ranges in order of age, can call it the Holographic Training Course give its bonuses to Clones and High tech for the Nanotech age and early Transhuman. Since there's super dogs and cats involved a simple shooting range would not work well for them =)
