Announcements post #288: Missile and targeting changes.
From: Neritus
Subject: Missile and targeting changes.
Hello all!
Missiles have received a bit of a boost. Namely, missile ammo now has 10 charges. Less time reloading, less marks dumped on expensive ammunition.
Additionally, SHIP TARGET has been tweaked. It no longer requires the target to be in your cone. Additionally, there was previously the issue that SHIP TARGET, when supplied a name with multiple valid matches in range, would target the closest one, even if out of the cone. SHIP TARGET will now prioritize the result based on a) whether they are in your cone followed by b) their distance to you. To ignore this behavior entirely, use id numbers.

Neritus
