Differentiate the commands for selecting a turret vs selecting a target

May 05, 2010 Aticephyr link
I'm really tired of accidentally targeting turrets. Can we get 'X' to target nearest enemy turret, and 'B' to target enemy turret in front of the ship? Not that I care that much about what the actual command is, I just want it to be there.

Note: This idea has cropped up many times before, but I don't think it's ever had it's own thread. Now it has one.

Yes, but you could write a plugin for that very easily.

There is already a plugin to do what the engine/client should do.

That is very basic, present on most space sims. One key selects ships, other key selects subsystems/turrets.

Make default {b} for ships, {n} for subsystems/turrets. What key is not important since they are re-configurable.
