Thanks.

People've been asking for this one for a long time, m'self included. However I really doubt it'll ever be added. Would make it too easy..

Press "Z" every time you hear the "plink" noise out of turn. If you don't hear anything, it's still a nice idea to use your "target closest enemy player" key as well.

Situational awareness is key - just because someone's covert one minute doesn't mean they still will be five minutes later.

lol.. really, there isn't, or if there is, it's still hidden. Many pilots have been searching for such a command for months without success.

Btw, congrats on turning purple, Kayl.

No there doesn't have to be.

I set my "target closest hostile player" button right next to the other buttons I use to control my ship in space, I have reset most of my keybindins for space. When ever I am overt or in Deep Space I'm constantly hitting that button.

A macro would make it to easy. I say leave it with no way to macro it. If you don't have situational awarness you shouldn't be sucking air past you're teeth/what ever you breath through.

This is how I do this:


Pressing "L" targets the nearest player and toggles through any that are with in radar range. I hit that frequently. If I happen to come across a player that is of my opposing faction and he's a good ways off, I'll first watch him to see if he's approaching me. Then, if he's not and I still have more time, I start pressing "T" totoggle throughany hostiles in radar range.If that playercomes up from that technique, Iknow he's overt and I go say "Hi."


If,whenI'm pressing "L",I notice he's coming towards me, I can bet on him attacking meand I switch to welcoming committee mode.

Nyah, I should be blue!

Thanks, though. I think I'm a little too critical of the Devs (re: caustic) to earn a Corr title.
