So "targetable" types for attacks have been in the game forever, but it seems like it'll be more important with the introduction of ground units. Currently, special case targets are detailed in an attack's notes, eg. Special Agent.

I've created a new template, TargetBox and a prototype AttackBox2 that uses the TargetBox template. The borders can get ugly in some cases, but this is just an idea.

Here is a sample: Sandbox Laser Technician. The "No Target Punch" had its "targets" parameter intentionally left out to see how the template behaves.

If we proceed with this, I will be updating the original AttackBox template with my changes, and unit pages *should* not break, and will display the TargetBox when "targets" is provided.

Of course, it would be wiser to hold off until we can see what 3.0 does exactly. Also, I could customize the TargetBox to faction so it blends in better, but that's a future improvement.

What do you folks think?
