The new targeting systems are wonderful..... also noticed the new astorids, the trade federation station in RORI space.

A couple of things though...

Im not getting any prestige points anymore... Is there a Cap now?

Also the space icons are broken. They are all blinking and wrong.

While I like the new graphics around the things I target, I loathe having little dotboxes around EVERYTHING!

I don't care for them on everything, either; it's nice sometimes, but mostly it takes me out of the moment, if you know what I mean. I'll see if we can get a toggle on this.

I agree. A toggle would be best. Hopefully they can implement one.

Or maybe make a toggle to have agros only, NPCs only, Players only and Other (for asteroids and such). Like how on the ground you can have names appear over certain things.

Hey TomoRainer do you know anything about the Prestige points? Is this just a bug? Next week I need to rack up on these points as I must start terrorizing deep space soon and dont want to be short any points.

Never mind I see that they are appearing in the Chat tab now? I was browsing the forum and someone pointed this out.

I know you aren't getting the message saying you're getting prestige points in spatial,but have you checked your combat log or in your skill page to see if you still are getting the points? They took out the system message telling you when you get exp/prestige.

The new targeting systems are wonderful? I hope you don't mean all those blue and red corners on everything because I really don't like those. I loved space feeling dark and if you were on the wrong side of another ship you could barely see it, I can remember many Y-wings that I didn't even realize where there until I noticed those little yellow dots that are the engines.

And going into a group of gunboats realizing after that it had a whole wing of fighters round it. Now only a blind person would miss these things as little boxes clutter space and highlight every target around.

it reminds me a lot of the old wing commander games actually. And while i know most people would prefer feature convergance on xwing alliance as opposed to wing commander, since i loved those games as well, i think its a good addition. It does take a little bit of the suspense out of it i suppose, but i thought the same thing about the targeting reticle thing that pops up telling you where to shoot, but after a week of playing with it on, ive grown to love it. Im sure this'll be the same thing here. A toggle would be nice though. Its probably going to look scary crowded in DS now.

When i first saw this in TC3-ep3 I liked it because in most space zones there are only mabye 1 or 2 around and it doesn't look that bad.

In busy areas like DS is looks horrible. I'd really like to be able to turn it off. I really like the old system with just 1 reticle on your target and everything else was just flying around in space. Was easy to miss things and feel emmersed in the universe.

I remember playing WC as well and besides teh target I don't think anythign else had permanent reticles around them.
