Target closest enemy (R) should only target fighters.

Per the original X-wing, R only selects the closest enemy fighter. It would not select shuttles, transports, and definitely not star destroyers.

For "Target Closest Enemy", we decided for some creative license to let it target transports and shuttles like in TIE Fighter. I think targeting large ships such as corvettes and freighters was part of that license as well. @david_esparza_guerrero ?

Indeed. We made R behave more like in TIE Fighter, where it will target all combatant starfighter-sized ships.

But then, if there are none, instead of it doing nothing, it will target the closest hostile ship of any category. So R always targets "the closest most immediate threat", with fighter-sized threat prioritized over other threats.

Following the decided logic, R should also target nearest mine.

It currently does not do that. (Tested in TOD1 M12)
