Target locked!

[Dashiell]

sometimes all my guided weaponry just seems to take the day off or something. the 'guided' part anyway. I experience it quite often that my missles and cds simply don't lock on. I looked at it carefully, wether I am not the cause of it somehow. but it happens quite often. no flares launched, spinning reticle, within range, and still my projectiles zoom off to kill the nearest sun or whatever. they seem to be going everywhere except at the target. this is becoming a pain.

more than once I have seen traders cruise away from me on my Hacker whilst I shower them with cds, only to be left behind all alone crying like a little girl.

I have a LF fetish. so mines + cd is my favorite trick to blow up bombers. but when my cds don't hit the target, I'm boned. the whole tactic goes down the drain then.

when I have enemies jousting me with torps or missles, I can't blow em up in their face. another huge drawback.

I was told that re-seleting the target should fix this. I tried that on multiple occasions, no joy. it also happens when the server is quiet, so it isn't just lag. my connection is just fine.

so, am I doing something wrong? suggestions on how to remedy this?
