CCP have made it possible to reorder your targets. Lets say I lock 3 targets A, B and C in that order, or rather in the order C B A across the top of my screen. I start firing at A, but decide my next target will be C.

Now I can manually reorder the target to place them as such B C A

The whole point of this reordering is so that I can just mash F1, F2 etc as soon as A pops, without having to manually select C. However, although the order is now visually as I want them, the game still remembers the old order and the targetting arrows jumps across to B.

When your current target pops and you mash F1, the client starts shooting at whatever is selected. This is the way it has always been. Once you are done reordering your target list, just highlight the next target for F1-mash.

EDIT: After your second target pops, the next target in the list should be automatically selected. At least, that is what you should be looking into.

Correct, but if you leave the Primary ship selected and it pops, all the targets shift to the right one space and the client automatically selects the right hand one.

Surely I'm not the only one who assumed that reordering the targets would reorder the next target selection too, that surely is the main point of requesting this feature.

I thought the point of the feature was to reorder targets.

Anyway, if you reorder and then select the next ship, does the F1-mash work down the line as expected?

This is very likely a defect. I'll look into it now and post my findings when I have something.

Wow a thread without trolls, no one using a flamethrower. Sometimes I have hope. And thanx for pointing out reordering, I didn't know.
