RE: [FT] SMLs and Banzai Jammers

None, rationale SML targeting mechanics assume a normal
fleet squadron with some escorts but not swarms of low MASS drones
or banzai jammers. Switching to mass discrimination mode is 
a fix for the latter so why should it cost more.

>How to represent on an SSD?

None, rationale all SML's have a coarse mass discrimination
capability when playing with these rules.

>Play balance (no downside)?

None, rationale this is how SML missiles were broadly designed to work.

Only switch to mass discrimination mode SML's if required, if the fleet
has a 'normal' escort arrangement then turn it off.

This mass discrimination mode could be very coarse, just set an -
'ignore
ships less then this MASS limit' - higher than the banzai jammers then 
the SML's will behave as designed against normal sized escorts.

You don't have to write it down as you know what the MASS of the jammers
are.
