It shoots every single one and there is no authorisation system. What would your idea be to make certain vehicles authorised
Just put it behind doors with door controllers and make it close if authorized nearby using HBHF sensor
Another easy work-around is to have a small "closet" nearby. Stone triangle with metal code-locked door. Inside closet is a small box with ammo. Load or unload the launcher as needed.
You have to run foundations out away from base to get separation anyway... use one. =)
I was wondering about this. I'm assuming you found this out the hard way as you went to fly around or over your base and got shot down. A lot of the suggestions above might work but I think it's something the devs should look at. It might be an easy fix. Just add an authorized option on the SAM launcher or have it do a check/scan to see who is flying the mini-copter before shooting it down. I'm wondering if this was deliberate as a checks and balances system. I.e. you can either have protection against people flying all over the place getting easy access to your base OR you can have the ability to fly yourself around but not both.
Well, one solution would be. If I'm in it, it's safe!
I had a minicopter on the ground, no fuel in front of my base. I put ammo in the sam and suddenly it started shooting at it. SAM should only shoot it if it's IN THE AIR!
A sam shouldn't shoot it if your in it either. What is the point of a sam site on your base, if it prevents you from using heli's around it? That's like deploying auto turrets around your base. But if you approach it at night, they shoot you because they don't recognise you. Stupid.
There's the mechanism for ownership to prevent this. If you have TC access, your gun traps or flame thrower wont fire at you. Same principle should be applied to the sam site. Not fire at a heli if the play with TC access is in close proximity to the heli. Its stupid!
You know what's worse? The SAM will shoot a park minicopter. Meaning if you park one in your base yard within the confines of your wall, and then put Ammo in the SAM the SAM will start shooting at the minicopter
