I wish some alert on HUD for a near enemy, a proximity alert or some advise on the radar.
Sometimes I focused on some carga on the space and go to pick up, then a bot catch me inattentive and shoot me.

well when you get shot it tells you who shot you, and really how automatic do you want the fighting system to be, i like it to be your responsiblity to press x if you see the red dots in your radar to check how far the enemy is from you.

also keep in mind that pressing 'b' gives target in front, pressing 'z' gives farthest target... so the devs have left it up the the disgretion of the player how activly they want to scan their enviornment.

Actually...
b = Object in front of ship.
a = Closest enemy in front of ship.
x = Closest enemy.
y = Who shot you last.

Well, is just a suggestion of my like. Darthmonkeyman "a" actually respond to straf left, almost on my config and, yes I press "y" but the damage was done :-)

May be could be a horn alert if you don't want to put more info on screen !
