try it using to maps, a missle range map, and a energy weapon range map,
after a ship moves into such an area on the map, replace it on a counter
and move it on to the energy weapons map, misle range ships can still
fire at the counter, which dosen't move on the missle map, and the
energy map ships can still fire on missle map ships from the counter on
the missle map

maybe
