Okay, I have no idea why this first post was deleted. This is getting really old people. There was nothing at all wrong with that. Why did you delete it? I just made a simple request, the same as everyone else. What was so wrong about the request that someone saw it fit to delete it after running for only a couple of days? I don't appreciate that, and I'm getting sick of this treatment, so please, for the absolute last time: Stop deleting my posts when they don't contain anything that violate the Forums Usage Guidelines or other policies and only make a simple request, the same as everyone else.

My request is this: Please improve the targeting system. Every time I have gotten into a dog fight, I've never been able to see my ship, or where it's coming from. I've never seen targeting brackets, targeting pointers and it never appeared on radar. I know I was being attacked, because the music was playing, I was taking damage, and would occasionally see flashes of the ship outside my cockpit. Please add the following mechanisms to the ship HUD:

1. Targeting Brackets around ship (or improve them, or fix them if they're broken)

2. Targeting pointer,that indicates the direction the ship is attacking from or moving (or improve it, or fix it if it's broken)

3. Radar image of attacking ship; preferrably one that distinguishes it from other ships in the area ( or improve it, or fix it if there is one)

without these, it is often too dificult to engage in combat at times, so I will stay out of the space game until (and if) it's added.

Thank You.

He/she's talking about when you don't have the enemy targeted and they are attacking you.

They used to have it set up to where whenever another ship fired at you, the icon for that ship would blink on the radar.

I don't know why it was removed, but you used to be able to tell who was firing at you in beta.

hmmm i know when something is attacking me ... if i am not currently engaged with another target ... i will automatically have the target of the ship that shot at me ... so i can swerve and stall to get behind em and destroy em before he can damage me anymore.

Here is how you do it, its not to hard to get what you asked for.

When you are targeting someone, and you are being shot, press the R key, wait to be hit again, then it will automaticly select the ship that has shot you. Problem solved. But yeah I would like the dot to flash on the radar of whichever ship was hitting me, its hard to manuver out of the way of someone firing at me from a side I have no idea which one.

An empire of one!
