I've got to the area with the fuel depot, the destroyed station, a beacon, and another acceleration gate. My gun is fitted and loaded as is the shield provided. But the only two things that I can lock on to in that area is the beacon and the acceleration gate, not the fuel depot like the tutorial wants me too. Any help? I've tried with a different character as well to see if I messed something up earlier.

Two things to try are:

1. Hold down your left mouse button over the fuel depot, then drag to the targeting reticle icon while you're within lock range.

2. Go into your overview settings menu, make sure structures are all checked, then select it from the overview and click target.

(EDIT: A third would be to go through the accel gate and see if maybe you were in the wrong area.)

It may not be in your current overview, try right clicking on the depot in space and select to add the object to your current overview.

Are you in locking range?

This.

Sounds like a locking range issue.

I should be in the right area, when I arrived there was a green circle that said Tutorial Fuel Depot or something similar.

When I click on the depot it acts just like I'm clicking anywhere in space with the options to reset camera, show solar system in map browser, hide route, configure.....

Should be, I was able to lock on to the accelerator gate which is farther away than the depot.

The problem was with my overview settings. Thank you.
