Hey, what does the "Sticky Target" in the in game options do?

Ok I have a problem that I hope a dev or someone knowledgeable can answer: Is there any way to turn off auto targeting while staying zoomed in? I get the auto lock when not zoomed in and switching autolock targets with the arrows, but every time I zoom in with my rail gun it gravitates towards one enemy. Is there a way to stop this? I would snipe the crap out of boats if I could freestyle aiming and shoot when any grouped unfriendlies are in that window of opening. I find this takes more skill and is fun than say autolock and shooting a little to the right or little to the left of the unzoomed target. Is this what the sticky target option is? I've tried turning that option on and off and notice no difference. Thanks.

 

I would like this as well for the same reason lol

 

Sticky target is like between normal targeting and locked targets....When u use sticky targets, it just locks your target temporarily and doesn't let u lose the target easily....If u move ur ship in another direction, then it will go stick to another target.
Used it once but got messed up in the battle.

 

Yeah, i play with sticky off. Much better imo

 

I even turned automatic camera rotation of, and also turned dubble tap for camera reset of.
