I purchased an Autotarget mod a long time ago and tested it out and it didn't seem to do what it says it does. I got the +2 target bonus, but it didn't seem to automatically target.
What does this mod actually do? Does it not work against npcs? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I also noticed this, the module doesn't seem to do anything else other than the +2 targets bonus.

What you have to do is press Esc, then under one of the menus, you can select how many targets you want to auto target if they aggro you.

Different thing...
The autotargeter works but it's pretty flaky and unreliable. Each time at the end of it's cycles it will attempt to lock anything that is firing at you, if you keep it on long enough you'll eventually lock something.
Piece of junk, if you ask me.

I have turned on my auto target back and that works. However, I don't need the Autotarget mod to do that. Auto target back works whether I have that Autotarget mod installed or not.
The mod reads like it's supposed to automatically lock on to hostile targets whether they try to lock you first or not. It does not work against hostile npcs. What does this mod consider hostile? If it only considers ships that try to lock you as hostile, then it really has no use, due to the auto lock back function.

Ok, thanks. If it will only lock back something that is firing on you, then it really doesn't have much use, especially if it doesn't even do that reliably. It's a shame. It seemed like an interesting mod. I guess I'll have to put it in the hangar right next to the space tourists that I occasionally threaten to put in an off grid secure cargo container after a bad day at work. |

It does work against NPCs.. I have one on my mission ship. I put it on because it only costs 1 CPU and 1 grid and I don't have enough room for anything else. Occasionally I hit it by accident and it will target NPCs. In fact, I just got out of a Mordu's Headhunter's mission where it locked two before I realized it was on.
edit: well now my post was kinda pointless

Thank you Wet Ferret. I was thinking the same thing. If it does work against npcs, it might be good for those configs where I have a high slot open and not enough juice or cpu to put much else on. It's good to know that it does work on them, at least sometimes.

I guess it's one of those mods you use when nothing else will fit. Then again, I'd probably offline it and use it as a heat sink.

I've also bought this mod before based on it's description. Totally worthless.

I was hoping to use it at a certain moment to overcome the lock time on small ships but it targeted everything else except the small ships :-)
