1. Start attached lasertarget_repro.Stratis mission with 1 player.
2. Select Laser Designator and start lasing something
3. Observe that your side is GUER while laser target's side is CIV
4. Since civilians cannot be made enemies (it will not let you access any empty vehicles and create various problems with AI), this indicates that Laser Designator is useless for Independent side.
5. Additionally switch to BLUFOR and OPFOR (through action menu) and lase again to observe that designator it lases with laser target owned by enemy side
