have you ever locked either a ship or object by accident?

call me clumsy, but when ever this happens i always wish that i could somehow cancel the target lock rather than wait sometimes 10 to 20+ seconds to have to unlock.

easy enough solution, would be to replace the "lock target" option with "cancel lock" once a lock has been issued.

does nobody else think this would be convenient?

I know its minor, but i would use it.

I personally wanted this a few times, just to be able to bind a shortcut for canceling all current locking :p

I'm glad im not alone. I hesitated to bring this to the forum, for fear of someone calling me a noob for targeting the wrong target, then ignoring the idea. but is there actuall anyone out there that has not made the mistake at least once?Bear

Agreed. This should be implemented... especially when you are in a cap or gunning a pos, it is hella annoying.

Signed. And this should be something for team papercut or what they call themselves.
