Okie, the Imperial Stardestroyer is absolutely huge! So much so that your practically have to crash into it before your close enough for your missile to get a lock on it. I felt like I was inside the exhaust nozzle of the engine before I even started hearing the missile lockon beep to target the engine component itself. This just really isnt workable. The current missile and weapons effective firing range is fine for ship to ship fighting but is way out of wack for ship to capital ship fighting. If the target is a capital ship of that size, the lockon should be moved out to about 2K distance. Frankly, I found it impossible to target any component except the bridge and engines.

Well.. I'm having trouble target anything myself. I can cycle through the 100 guns and such, but I can't for the life of me see a target reticule of where I should be attacking. I made a few attack runs on the ISD, but couldn't see any damage. Anyone know how the targeting works for the ISD?

Same problem I had. I found I could only target and get a missile lock on either the engine or the bridge. The missile didnt lock on until I was literially flying inside the engine's nozzle. Missle lock on the bridge only happened right before smacked into and bounced off.

We just need different effective weapon distances for capital ships that make them realistic.

You are sooooo right!!! The ISD also needs this increase as well to 3 or 4K as their limited gun ranges right now prevent the batteries towards the back from even being able to fire beyond the bow! Ohh, and it needs that 72 fighters flying cover as well....and lets not forget to adjust the sheilds to correctly refelct the fact that a few space bombs would do nothing more than scratch the sheilds.

People want the missiles to be accurate, but if you do that, you need to do the same to the rest of the ship, and that just wouldnt be fun would it? The ISD should be able to shoot at you long before you get close enough to shoot, and thats after you get through the TIE CAP around the ship. The ISD should also have no fear from anything less than 12 BWings launching attacks with 24 space bombs at the exact same time. Until all that is put in, you rebels will just ahve to be content Soloing the ISD with lasers. *rolls eyes*

It's in the "Deep Space" sector.

/agree

Also, it would be good to have slash commands for targeting specific components rather than cycling through all 50 or whatever on a big ship. Example: /targetbridge would target the bridge on the ship currently targeted. Does this exist already?
