Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
So, today I tried casting the tier 9 arc operation ''Positron Converter' with my diverse group of units including 8 modified lightning riders, 4 assembly heroes riding lightning riders, 3 monitors and 3 tier 1 autonom laser thingies. The spell brought up a launch dialogue where it seemed to target all my units, but when I pressed the launch button the words 'invalid target' appeared over my autonom units (which use lasers). I don't see why the operation couldn't have been cast on the *twelve* other units that do arc damage in the battle, but I had no option to target anything or manipulate anything -- the operation simply would not fire. I'm 99% sure this is a bug and not a feature.

P.S. My cyborg heroes and all lightning riders were modified to be networked with autonom units, which perhaps changed their type in some way?
Have you tried verifying your files?
Yes

Steps to reproduce the issue
Make a mixed force of lightning riders and t1/t2 autonom units. Research the arc t9 spell 'Positron Converter'. Attempt to cast the spell in a battle. Spell should not work.

Hey Swiftest, I've had a look with the Operations guy and it appears there is more going on here than it seems. F.e. did you notice that none of your Lightning Riders are even considered targets. A case has been looked made to look into what is going wrong.
