# The fleet's gun. It does NOT pick its own targets: the player aims it with
# the fire stick, and it shoots along whatever heading that stick reports for
# as long as it is held.
#
# It used to seek the nearest enemy in range and fire on its own, which meant
# combat happened whether or not the player did anything - there was nothing
# to aim, and nothing to decide. Firing is now an action like any other, and
# the right-hand stick is what performs it.
#
# #172: it is aimed at a POINT, not along a heading.
#
# Every gun in the fleet used to be handed the SAME direction, so a fleet
# firing at something threw a sheet of parallel bolts past either side of it
# and only the middle hull could ever hit. Handed a point instead, each hull
# works out its own heading to that point, and the fleet's fire converges
# where the player is actually pointing - which is what having several ships
# should be worth.
#
# The point is set every frame by FireStickController, from the mouse's own
# world position or from where the fire stick is pushed, and cleared the
# moment the trigger is let go. No point means not firing, which is the
# resting state.

# deliberately placed cursor choose a farther target in the same direction.

# Targets opt in through one group rather than this utility branching on
# enemies versus asteroids. That keeps future aimable compositions out of the
# weapon code: joining the contract is all they need to do.
