Missles losing target lock

May 23, 2017 PaKettle link
If you target a Cappie with a player in it and they undock after launch the missles lose thier target lock and change to a straight flight path...

Missles should remain on target even if the player docks / undocks.

You are right, they should. I have no idea how they would fix this though, as when you dock with a station you are no longer the same entity/are despawned and therefore not targeted by the missiles. (Yes, you said capship, well it is exactly the same thing) - same applies when you undock, the capship is no longer a player entity, and becomes a station.

Would not hold my breath for a fix for this, not saying it cannot be fixed, just saying it will be hard.

Aye - Depending on what the devs actually decided to have the missles follow this could be a very hard fix.

There hopefully will be some type of id that doesnt change when a player docks/undocks that the devs can use....

You are also right - holding my breath would be a bit unwise :}
