I play solo, and iv noticed if I leave my ship bout 3km away from the enemy and fly in to take them out on foot (I find it easier to do that with corvettes) once they spot me they immediately target my ship, even if its behind rocks on the other side of the map

I find this extremely annoying too, I don't think the AI can distinguish that the player is not part of the ship
If I, as an EVA player, alert the horde without the ship in sight, the enemy should fire on ONLY me instead of making a break for the player ship
but I also don't think the enemy ship AI has the capabilities to fire on player characters yet
anyway, most likely not a bug, might just simply be an oversight or an unpopular intended feature

actually that reminds me, I noticed during the Distress call missions, when the hostile or friendly ship targets one another it seems to give the players ship a target lock warning
proven aspen
oh... that's inconvenient huh lol

I mean they dont seem to notice you till the normal timing, but you get the warning
proven aspen
so just to clarify:
All target locks, regardless of who is targeting what, and as long as it's not the player locking onto something else, the HUD says the player ship is being locked when it isn't?
ally to enemy lock, enemy to ally lock, and enemy to player locks all trigger the "target locking" alert

The enemy ship AI is going to get an overhaul in the not-so-near future, this might be fixed as part of that but there's no guarantee

presumably its the same code from the demo for the targeting warning, and they didnt have the ally ship when they coded it. So they probably made it so if there was a target lock from anything but your ship you get a warning
because at the time there was no target locking on anything but your ship, exept for your ship doing it

yeah that checks out, I've been peeking at the code and there's a lot of strange quirks like this in other places of the game
proven aspen
uhhhhh, it's pretty coherent from what I've seen lol
north hearth
ok good, I dont want another WOW cats throwing up from being drunk situation
proven aspen
that was dwarf fortress, but yeah same lol
I don't have the authentic original code,mind you, it's a jumbled reverse engineered impression of the code but it's good enough
anyway, off topic... I'll make a separate report for this and link it here

probably a good idea

another off topic thing, you playing jump space rn?

nah, digging through code
