reading through some of these discussions reminds me how much more people used to care about playing well.

Bah the only thing you really need is target center (NOTICE HOW I SPELL IT CORRECTLY YOU KIWI BASTARD).juckto wrote:QUOTE (juckto @ Apr 28 2008, 02:54 AM) Lesson Six - Stay on target
My name is juckto, and you suck at Allegiance. You've got no freaking clue what's going on, you just run after the closest enemy while miners, cons, and bombers drive right on by. If you ever opened up the Game Controls menu and actually looked, you might discover that there's a gazillion things you can set keys to target.
The most important keys on your keyboard are: Target Bomber, Target Miner, Target Constructor, and Target Base.
That's four right there, but I'm lying. It's 8 - cause you see, you've got to be able to target enemies and friendlies.
Then you need to be able to target people in a dogfight - so you'll be wanting Target Centre and Target Nearest Enemy. And to round it all off you'll be wanting Target Aleph and Target Lifepod.
Maybe then, maybe, you'll gain perhaps an inkling of situational awareness. For the sector you're currently in, at least. Which will probably be the wrong one, cause you suck.
