Thread: Disable and board a ship missions
this is probably going to sound obvious...
are you sure you have the ship targeted? i was having the same problem till i realized that i had some other vessel targeted.

try scanning/inspecting it first?
Yeah I did that, it says its the right ship and to /dock but it wont let me dock.
subsystem targeting controls are [ and ] to disable a ship you not only have to disable toe reactor but the engines as well
ive disabled engines solely been able to board ships. reactor really doesnt do much
just go for the engines on boarding missions and reactors for general dog fighting against mobs imo
most ppl use rtyc and tab for targeting to me this is a waist of scrolling and thinking time. i use X when i got the mob directly in front of me. also kinda learned that if you sit on a ships tail for more than 2 minz youll get about 6 stacked on yourtail so in a way its sometimes more profitable when yoru soloing your spawn to hit what ever is in front of you and not necessarily track and hunt down 1 ship at a time as youll get missiles on yoru butt fast, typically, but this is all just based on the situation honestly.
And as of lately i have stopped using the targeting system all together. I was watching sw4 a new hope, and obi tells luke , let go use the force, and he turns his targeting computer off. Lately i only use my targeting comp for specific subsystems im targeting like reactors and such. But in a general dog fight i just lead on w/ my eye and shoot, and it works 10x more for me.
