But your targetting computer can compute ranges to all targets,
the AI works out the best targets, and paints little crosshairs
over them on the HUD on your visor.

Thinking about it, pre-measuring should be allowed depending on
tech. If you've got a high tech (SF) force up against low tech
forces, it might be interesting to see what sort of difference
the advantage of pre-measuring does give to the high tech player.
