Mmm. I've been thinking of somethign similar to this; stand-off missile
launcher racks. I _think_ something similar was mentioned in the rules.

I'd want a laser designator with my inf, comms attempt to get a missile
ready to fire. Then, do normal direct fire against vehicle. Resolve
minor/major hits with regular GMS damage.

Just a thought I been playing with, nothing I really worked out.

Did I understand from your post that you'd ONLY have the laser on
vehicles? Modern day laser designators are already man-portable, and
can't
think of a single reason why they wouldn't be even  more so in the
future.
