Yeah, fear me!

If this were added, we could even expand on it to work better with wingman. You could have a key set up to target the nearest ship currently targeting your target. So I target a friendly, press a button, and whoever is targeting/attacking him is now targeted. Just like the old xwing games.

yay bumpage...

thanks, this thread needed it

I like the idea of a "lock-on warning", but I simply loathed the "target the attacker of your target" buttons in X-Wing and some MMORPGs. Made things a tad too easy; as it is, you just call out the name of your attacker and everyone hits 'u' and targets him. Now that you an actually organize the 'u' list better it's even easier (I know before it was next to impossible in a target-rich environments), so yeah, I wouldn't mind never seeing this command in the game. If it were added, though, I'd use it (no sense in not using every advantage, Hell knows I need it).
