[#2184][7.0 beta 4] Accidentally targeting docked ship in external view.

Post by AutoGibbon » Sun, 5. May 24, 21:41

Hello, sorry if this has already been reported, I did search but did not find similar reports. This is also my first post here so yay!

When flying any ship with external landing pad (eg. Osprey), with any ships currently docked on those landing pads, it is possible to accidentally click on, and target the docked ship. This is not very helpful, especially when the selection indicator (the green box around the friendly docked unit) is large on the screen.
It would be nice to disable this, since the clickable area is often in the way of something you might want to lock target.
Would also be helpful to remove the selection box around the docked ship since it interferes with vision.

Please take a look at the forum rules at the top of the forum, and provide the information requested there. A screenshot and savegame showing the situation you're describing would help a lot.

Sorry, missed the part where providing a save game is mandatory.

Link to a screenshot demonstrating the cerberus, with a docked gladius. In the image you can see the green selection box for the gladius right in the middle of the screen at all times, which is where it is possible to mis click and accidentally select the docked ship.
Also in the link is a save game, created using the open universe option, with only a cerberus minimum spec, and a gladius minimum spec.

Hope this helps, but understand this is probably very low priority over any functional concerns as you are working on v7. It's really cool so far!
