We need a lock target button. ability or something similar.

I know what your going to say and before you all cry about it listen up.


This would be an ability that you can only use say every 4 or 8 hrs. and it would lock onto a target you find in the BT. Reason behind it is the sever resets too many times and when your in the BT attacking someone and the sever refreshes it boots you out and erases them from your sites. At lower lv its not as much of a problem because it only takes a few hits to kill someone but at the higher lv I have lost many targets due to this.

They way it would work is simple you can only lock onto one target at a time, if the ship is disabled you lose the lock, if they actively cast a flare at you, you lose your lock, and it has a 4 or 8 hr timer on it. that way it is not abused, but at the same time your time at clearing traps off someone is not wasted because the web page decides to refresh.

+1 for the concept, but the execution is not agreable.

would suggest that you would have to possibly first hack the ship and then use an artifact that is a bug or tracking system or homing beacon of some sort to plant on the target ship. The invected ship would then either have to use a bug finder artifact or do something specifically to search his/her ship for bugs in order to remove it....

The bug/tracking system/homing beacon ould also have a limited life? 1 week or so? Some more suggestions to the execution of this concept would be great.

yeah. i like zoemdeofs idea. first you have to hack the target and then use a tracing bug artifact (maybe purchaseable for red badges) on the target to lock them in for 4-8 hours.

on the one hand i can see what your'e saying as a issue, but i'm of the impression most high ranking players dont just sit there and take it, so assuming you left a mark as it were via use of a artifact (or getting one used on you), they'll hit back anyway or are there more players than i thought who dont pvp at high levels?

there are a lot that don't pvp back, some that deserve a beating and some that done. My issue is the hindrance in wasting all the artys to have the web page refresh after investing 100 energy into the battle to loosing him because the page decided to refresh.

ps a lot of player wont hack or atk back because they don't want to have the link back to there ship, or worse the chance of someone alerting them to their legion.


I like the idea of a bug planting kind of what I was going for but not at same time.


I still want a lock target ability to be available so it will keep a target locked for 2hr or even 30 min unless I change targets. this way I can not worry if i do not have the target dead in 15m most likely I am not going to bother with it.

2nd the bug device would be good with the ability being bought with yellow badges not blue, and you can only use it after a successful raid. that way you physically have to board there ship to place it.

Just open a second browser tab and do your repairs and whatnot on that one while you keep your targets ship open on the first tab, problem solved without recoding anything...

one that's cheating I know a lot of you do that but still it is not the makeup of how the game was intended to be played.... and basically your admitting to using an exploit ban him Dan lol..... 2nd what I am referring to is not leaving to repair, the web browser refreshes randomly on me all the time making it hard to keep someone locked. and if we had a locked target button for 30 min it would not mater how many times browser refreshes the target would stay locked for 30 min. 30 min is not unreasonable.

once you atk someone in the BT if you lever for any reason they normally get removed, and that's fine if i am the one leaving the screen, but when it is a random boot out of the game that reset or removes the player that's not right.

A--Point out where I say that I do it...
B--Describe exactly how it is cheating please?
C--Dan needs to add a feature to the game to balance a browser issue...
