Title: I was wondering if anyone made this......
Post by: cakuzma on July 05, 2008, 01:40:56 PM
ok so here it is
say your in a battle and say you want to fight in the bridge mode
now what i do is hit the "home" key and the screen stays fixed front
is there a way (script) to make little arrows on where / which way the enemy target is. the picture is to show what I mean.
.
This first picture says the enemy is to the left

BC shows the target in the most efficient direction already, but for arrows, I'm not sure...

Keep an eye on your sensor read out, but I do understand, even by reading the sensor screen it can be hard to know if the enemy is above or below.

The sensor read out is only visable when you gointo tac(ie f2 key) / full ship view (ie space bar)
I useally fly from my seat(captions) so a mod like that would be nice
even if i have to mod it myself i just need to know which file to edit

Assuming it's possible (if it is, then it will be hard, I'll say this in advance, very, very hard), it will be really tricky to do this.

Also, if you have a ship targetted, doesn't it not do this already (if only for that single ship)?

It's quite possible it already does this, but that the Viewscreen is too small to show it.
