Auto Locking Targets

Hey Battle Bayers,

So I've been getting used to the changes since the release of the latest update, but I've been encountering one issue that I find is really disrupting my game play. That is the new auto locking system. I'm finding it really annoying and there is no way to disable it that i can see of. This for both friendly and unfriendly targets. I solely play as Fixer ( MK5 running pulse, box, & tape) and honestly I won't be using the health bolt. As such, I don't need to lock on to my teammates. I'm finding it very disrupting that i have to consciously switch between healing items to my weapon in order to call out enemy targets. While it only takes a few seconds to do this, those are crucial seconds that I need in the heat of battle.

This issue also happens when using my weapon (napalm). Anytime I use it when the enemy is on screen, it auto locks onto the nearest one. Again, I find this frustrating as my screen will track the enemy's position instead of following my lead, especially when I'm trying to use it as a means of crowd control and not actually targeting a ship. More precious seconds wasted in a game where every second counts. I realize this might not be an issue for some players, as everyone has their own preferences, I'd just like the option to personally turn it off entirely. Hoping this is something the Dev's can implement.

Thanks for your time, see you on the bay!

Try turning off sticky targets?

 

First thing I checked, they have always been off.

 

Not sure then, I have all my sticky's on but I thought turning them off would stop that
