Hey

As we cannot use ARFs (edit: slimes, ARF forked it.) plugin anymore to target anything and Incarnate is fine with making docking bays and exit bays selectable, i create this.

Basicly its very uesful so you see how far away you are, especially if you fly a dent. Since you cant look back, you can align nicely to a bay this way w/o having to change the view all the time. It would be good if we can select all the station modules, but at least the bays.

I can see it as useful in that sense, but doesn't that also mean that you can fire missiles at it as a strategy to indirectly attack an opponent as they try to dock with a station or cap ship?

+1 to allow all station modules to be targeted.

How the heck are we supposed to enjoy fun easter-eggs now like the "TPG Habitat Spin-O-Tron MkV"?

+1. Will also be useful someday in the future when station parts are destructable.

+1 especially for Pizza's reasoning

+1... better to have mine detection and targetting, but why not

I know Inc said in the bug thread that station parts were never target-able, but they were, and after release too. You used to be able to use the { + } keys to target station bits and to be honest I cannot remember exactly when this was removed, but it was somewhere around 2006.

Anyway, I see no harm in it.

Sure.

(What do you mean by Incarnate making bays selectable)?

@The_Catman: before you could target any station module or w/e you wanted with TargetTools. As its most usefull for dock/exit bays, i made the suggestion to at least have that. of course, i'd like to target all station/buildings parts.

+1 I find it useful to line up my dent's docking port with a stations docking port just by using distance.

Also the Spin-O-Tron MkV makes me chuckle.

Thx Xeha.

Pai Mei approves.

Any statement from the devs?

what plugin do you need this for? this sounds like a waste of dev time to me
