    When the player turn on both options.
    Is it possible to disable target changing while the player is aiming a target by holding aiming button?
    • When smart targeting system selected a target for me and I intended to shoot that target. I started to aim it but suddenly there was another ship appear near my target, smart targeting system changed the target to that ship while I was releasing the aim button. So I missed it. It often happens to me. I think it would be better if it will be disabled automatically until the player release the aim button.

    This frustrates me too, but use the target lock button, it has become much more essential since the last update.

    Target lock seems to be a bit off, especially when fighting people up close. Seems to me that it's considering SHIP DIRECTION rathher than turret direction to auto-disengage in close combat. This causes headaches if you're not using a cannon-type weapon.

    Its not perfect, but without it you have no chance.
    Targets jump all over the place and shots end up firing between the 2 enemies as the shot goes off as its snapping to the other one!

    I’ve been experiencing issues with this as well, and not trying with it off completely. I wonder how many players play with this option off?

    The aiming is getting worse and worse every update. Devs need to look into this.
    Jumping targets happen every battle few times, auto-lock unlocking by itself (happens mostly on fast ships like speeder), target selection is just terrible.

    But as much as everybody has the same crappy conditions it's not a problem right. :p
