TC that adjusts its tracking/range bonuses in the same was as a Reactive Armour Hardener. It's a very cool mechanic and I'd like to see it employed elsewhere. TC is just one possibility :)

Just change what script you have loaded...

Only if it is less effective than a manually scripted tracking computer, and either has higher fitting OR costs more capacitor per cycle (not both).

this is a KEWL idea!!!

set it up to where when u target a person, itll shift so that your guns are always right on optimal, the rest will shift to tracking.
if they are way out, itll be 30% to range, up close, 30% tracking. 15/15% in the middle.

switch to a new target, and itll start shifting.

i can see a skill bringin the cap use back down to the level of a normal one, but until then itll be higher.
would need to shift a little faster than the armor mod tho. combat is dynamic especially with MWD and frigs.

the numbers can be adjusted, but the concept i think is awesome!

Actually, I think it should be better or equal in every way, but starts out worse, and reduce your number of targets. (What?)

Like an actual "computer" every cycle it gets better and better at tracking your current targets. It increases your tracking speed and/or range depending on which you need, even exceeding the basic tracking computer. But it takes time to build up that level; 4+ cycles to exceed the basic tracking computer.

It'd mean that in prolonged fights, bigger ships could hit smaller ships (the battleship will EVENTUALLY hit the frigate, it may just take several minutes).
