Summary	0006427: Feature: Air/Gunship MoveType value to set wantedHeight relative to sea level
Description	I have just been asked how to make satellite units that hover high above the map without being affected by the height of the terrain. This could be achieved with a new boolean for Spring.MoveCtrl.Set{Air,Gunship}MoveTypeData that makes wantedHeight behave relative to sea level rather than the terrain near the aircraft.
