Most units and buildings have 'behavior states' that can be set by the player to modify unit behavior on the fly. The state settings are set per-unit to allow different behavior of the same unit types.

=== Fire at Radar ===
 
=== Fire at Radar ===
Some units with long-range precision weapons, like the Phantom and Lance, can be ordered not to fire on radar dots (i.e. targets inside radar range but outside visual range). These units will still fire on buildings outside line of sight if the target position is known precisely (indicated by the "ghost" building).
