Just started playing this and enjoying it. Gotta ask though, how do you target the nearest enemy, I mean really do it? The keys mapped to do so only switches between hostile ships (and anti matter missles but not cap missles), not target the nearest hostle ship as it should. Is there anyway around this as it would make dog fighting easier, instead of assuming you have the right target and failing badly.
You could try using a different targeting key, like 'f', then quickly re-hit "target nearest hostile", it should reset the targeting cycle to the actual nearest hostile.
