-New shortcuts still not being saved after quitting
-Default target, when having multiple locked (more then 3/4) still changes. This one is seriously starting to annoy me. I have lost COUNTLESS containers and wasted millions of shots because the target I want to attack suddenly changes and me activating the guns activated it on the new target.
Caught a log of this on chaos. If you need it, please reply and let me know.

Yes it is absolutely annoying Hippey .
I've lost count how many asteroids I've pummeled with rockets or missles while mining.
And I'm sure the worst case is someone firing on thier own gang member when the target switches from someone they are attacking to someone they are supporting.
I only have one question for you in this discussion. Why do you target cargo containers?
Surely if they weren't targeted they can't get shot. Maybe I'm missing something but I've never targeted one other then to blow it up intentionally to clear it. I have no need to target one to approach it.

Well people don't clean up after themselves. These cargo containers last a while and when someone leave a system and leave the containers, then I come in later for the next spawn, I have to be able to keep track of which containers were just created.
The only way to do it (and not get disoriented trying to find your way in 3d), is to lock em as they pop so you can know what to check later.

I frequently lock a container to be able to use approach/open cargo off the picture once it locks because it's bigger than the moving pixel a cargo container is when you are doing 300m/s.
And also so I can grab the loot I want then blast the container to get rid of it.
The auto target switching is probably the single most annoying and stupid interface bug I can think of.
Lock target 1
Lock target 2
Lock target 3
Lock target 4
Smack F1-4 only as F3 and 4 activate target 2 gets locked and the game switches your target off of target one. Congrats you are shooting two targets...or sometimes it just flat out won't stay on a target and you have to sit and spam left click the target as you activate guns.
Just let me pick my target and NEVER, EVER switch. IF I want to switch I can click ONE time on another target and god knows I am proficient at clicking things with this games interface. :)

I lock them so I can scan them from 20km and see if its worth flying over and looting it :-)
Spelling corrections welcome, but don't expect me to edit my post. |

But back on topic, I too hate this bug/feature where the target automatically changes.

Yes Hippey, please send the log to [email protected] and I will grab it from there. A log of this on chaos will hopefully be ideal for tracking down why this is happening.
Thanks!

I just found one bug with the active target switching, when you lose any target - because an asteroid you had targeted was mined out, because something you had targeted was destroyed or because you unlocked it, the active target would be changed even if the target you lost was not the one that was actually active.
However, I do not know if this is the active target switching bug given that I haven't seen anyone mention loss of targets in their description of it.

I have a couple of bugs actually. First one is, I cannot use my combat drones in combat or else my computer restarts automatically, second the samething happens when i use my cargo scanner too. When in combat with Impalers and Angel hunters, I'm even willing to bet any Pirate taht shoots missles my computer restarts in the middle of combat. I can fight pirates that do not shoot missles and stuff, but it really sucks that I cannot use my drones at all.
I almost lost my ship because of this stupid bug. I tell you it is not fun when you finally get looged back on to find you are almost dead and everytime you try to warp out here comes a missle and next thing you know the computer is restarting. I can duplicate this everytime.
Some feed back would be nice about this bug!!

lickspittle the game changes target sometimes when you get hit by a different target and when you activate weapons.

lickspittle, to experience this:
- Go to a 'roid belt.
- Lock 2 asteroids. (assuming you've got 3+ targetability)
- Mine one asteroid with lasers
- Mine other asteroid with drones
- Wait for pirate spawn
- Target pirates
- Recall harvesters, and launch Wasps
Here's the bastard: Try to keep the pirate the active target while telling your wasps to attack it. I think the target also resets when mining lasers end their cycle, when a pirate gets destroyed, when you fart, when a drone checks for instructions, when a hat is dropped - pretty much all over the shop.
