    Hi. after last major update I have the target losing focus and hoping to next target all the time.
    It happens all the time and not only on long range where you could justify it that it lost contact but right in front of me as I'm ready to fire it hops to another target and the shot intended to kill the opponent goes to waste.
    Its becoming extremely irritating. Please fix.

    Are you using the target lock button?
    It has been essential for me since the last update!

    The target hopping is super annoying. And lock isn’t much help because targets are always appearing and disappearing out of cover. What’s worse is sometime you hit lock, and will lock the wrong ship. Or it will jump just as you hit lock, and then you have to key it back.

    I think the worst thing is when it jumps to a target that suddenly appears. It’s very unusual that you’d want to quickly switch to a target that you didn’t even know was there half a second ago.

    No. You lock the target, get ready to fire, you've got him dead to rights right in front of your face and suddenly as you go to press the fire button the target hops elsewhere and he's away in the wind thanking his good luck.

    at long range maybe you can justify it by thinking "maybe he pulled back from range or view".
    in my case hes right in front of me.

    Is anybody gonna deal with this issue? No replies no fixing no nothing.
    A lot of people in my guild report the same things. Target hopping, target over or under enemy ship, shots not registering point blank.
    PLEASE SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING.

    The only time I notice this happening is when the target suddenly disappears .. and it goes real crazy when they reappear a second later.

    It would be nice if there was a 1 second fade out on disappearing targets so those shots don't end up being jerked towards the target it's automatically switching towards.

    This has been happening to me constantly since the update. It is seriously pissing me off and is definitely costing me kills and sometimes even battles. I contacted support which was zero help and directed me here. The target hop always happens when I select the next weapon that has cycled up for use.
