exactly there is no reason to not have a “target all hostiles” button that can automatically lock up targets that are closest to our ships, would be nice to have the ability to set how many it locks up so say i just want to lock the five closest targets, and have a few locks available, and unlock all button would be nice and maybe a window where we can configure it to lock only wrecks or just pve targets or just drones some more options and controls for locking would be cool because these are technologically advanced ships that also have ai working in conjunction with the pilot and should be able to asses and lock priority targets, locking needs much love as its been neglected while other ui aspects have evolved. lets make targeting a cooler and more advanced part of the game.
what would be ideal is set hot keys for locking up certain types of targets like press “X” and lock on max amount of wrecks that are closest, or press “X” to lock 5 closet ships over 50 km, press “X” to lock all drons under 10 km. give us the ability to get really specific with some filters and options.
how about an option to auto lock friendly targets on our watch list that are broadcasting for reps or cap,
with the multitude of sensors, ai and tech on our ships we should have simple QoL things like this that add some forms of automation and enhanced threat detections for targeting.
