-Star is the most simple and common targeting mode. It means a flat line of fire in all 8 main directions (hence it's called "star"). Any other grid is not targetable; you will have to move to get such a target in line. The line of fire is blocked by any unit or object.

 ===== Sweep =====
@@ Line 62: / Line 62: @@
 Mainly used by weapons with a "scatter-fire" mechanism, sweep targeting mode spreads in the //straight directions 3-grids wide//, enabling the wielder to attack even from behind an obstacle. Firing from //proximal distance// grants //+0.5 Damage Factor//, but negates any area effect.
+===== Arc =====
+{{:tm_arc.png?400|}}
+"Arc" stands for the elevation of trajectory that only a few weapons use, namely the Flak cannon for its grenades and the Self-defense pistol for flares*. Projectiles fired this way can land at any location that is not blocked out by an //object// (see fig.). Can't be used at a proximal distance.
+* The Flame thrower also uses "Arc" targeting, fire being ethereal and able to pass through units.
+===== Free =====
+{{:tm_free.png?400|}}
+This is the most advanced non-arc targeting mode. All grids that are not blocked out by a //unit// or an //object// are valid targets, including those at a proximal distance (by default), as far as they're in effective range. Not having to move into a firing position may save a lot of APs.
+===== Pass (Passthrough) =====
+{{:tm_pass.png?400|}}
+Basically a "Star", Passthrough is a special targeting mode where the line of fire is not blocked by //units//, and any unit that is in the way until the target gets damaged. Used by the Laser scorcher (for "line blast") and the Flame thrower (for "line ignite") only.
