Suggestion RE: Auto-Target

Sorry if there was a thread for ideas or suggestions, I couldn't find it, or if someone has already said something to this effect.

I would like to suggest that the auto-target feature be refined, something that bugged be quite a bit playing Broken Mirror. Sorry if this isn't applicable or anything because of your new battle system involving the Red Alert and all that. Anyway, I would find it very annoying and quite a hindrance when trying to wipe out one system or race that I would lock onto, and if I was not wary, fire at and destroy ships of a different race. This would become a problem when trying to remain sided with one race or another. Would it be possible to code in a way to set auto-target to lock onto only one or several selected race ships at time? Perhaps a sort of radio button interface: "Auto-Target the Following Races..." so that it could easily be manipulated, and maybe a hotkey that would take it back to selecting all in emergency battle situations.

Thank you for hearing me out, I trust whatever battle enging or system you come out with will be a step above its predecessor.

well, i am going to attempt to refine that targetting system, like i said on i think VX flash, I plan to try and make it so you can fire at more than one ship at a time, and red alert mode is supposed to also make it define who exactly enemies are. but i don't know yet how flexible the code is for that

That sounds good. Thanks for the info.

Very sorry for necroing - but i just though i should say this.

Press 'Tab' to cycle through all objects in-game. Which is a kind of auto-target as you can quickly cycle through those pesky small ships....

However, it is still fiddly, and you have to repeat the process every time you destroy a ship

Locked

shem, you're forgetting that we're general mods. also, wasnt it control? or maybe im thinking of something else...

Never mind I'll lock it...

It's both keys, I think...
