Summary0029135: Android launcher range should be displayed when deploying androids, building launchers
DescriptionCurrently the only way of telling where one can deploy androids is to go to Command->Androids->Select type and move over and see if you get a "Location is too far.." text or an arc from a launcher.
I suggest that it should be somewhat visualized (highlighting, range ring like during movement or similar)
1. When deploying androids: So that users can immediately see where they can deploy and where not
2. When building Android Launchers (ideally while dynamically showing what area the launcher would add if placed there when moving the outline of the new launcher on the map): So that users know where building a new launcher makes the most sense
TagsNo tags attached.

Thanks!

* Androids can now always consistently be deployed within range 40 of the launchers, rather than it being their move range from the tower.
** For some androids this is a reduction, for a few this is an increase, and for most this is about the same.
** The consistency is important for making this consistent with mechs and vehicles, and also for allowing preview lines when no unit is indicated.

* When you are in deployment mode for any kind of unit, it now shows a bright cyan ring for each spot it can be deployed from.
** Also when you are building a launcher or an aerospace hangar, it now shows the rings for existing spots and for the new building.
