With recent advancements in weapon technology, see 'Warfare TacTicks', the need for a new anti-weapon has arisen. The Anti-Tick Missile once installed will help to defend against 'Sealed-Tick Crates'.

ATM's work by homing in on the already deployed STC's, upon interaction they eject a fine mesh netting in their wake, successfully ensnaring the STC. The second-stage rocket boosters then kick in, and the onboard guidance computer plots a target towards known enemy targets.

In absence of in-range targets, a high altitude burn followed by explosion is activated.

I think a countermissile of parasitoid wasps might be better.

Perhaps instead of STC's of ticks, the offenders will turn to low-flying drones packed with lice...

[idyll] Egg-fried or Sweet and Sour?

[silverstormer] Either way, we always fly the lice.

TacTicks - do they rattle about in the box like TicTacs?

I'm not sure [po], perhaps a question for Idyll, the mastercrafts-man of the STC.

Were TacTicks to be shaken about in a box, I should think they would be rather rattled.
