    • Why do enemy ships disappear off my targeting sensors...


      whenever I launch my fighters? The enemy ships are still there, but have turned blue and I cannot target them, either with my closest target button or cycling through all ships in the system. As soon as my fighters are recalled to dock, the enemy ships go back to red and can be targeted again. It's gotten to the point that I don't make use of shipborne fighters. Why is this?

    • What plugs are you using with that pilot?

    • I'm playing "Brotherhood of the Kestrel." I also have "Lightning Jump," "Levo Fix," and "Availability Cheat" installed. For some reason, "Lightning Jump" and "Levo Fix" aren't working (jumps stay the same and Levo still has no shipyard or outfitters).

    • That may be a bit much. Did you try it without the plugs?

    • wow, never had trouble like that with the game. Perhaps it was something in one (or all) of the plugs that somehow interfered with the targetting. Try it without any of the plugs (unless you already have). That really sucks, cos docked fighters are awesome to have with you.

    • I'm playing with BOTK and Lightning Jump at the same time and have had no such problems.

    • I think the reason "Levo Fix" didn't work right was because it wasn't a complete download/unstuff. I redownloaded it and it works fine now. "Lightning Jump" didn't work because of the same reason. I red/l'ed it and now jump works fine. Sometimes now the ships disappear, so it looks like I've destroyed all the enemy ships. But when I recall my fighters to dock, whattayaknow, there they are! That doesn't happen too often anymore once I took out all extra plugs (except for "Lightning Jump"). I finished the Cartel string and have begun anew with the K'rali string. Now all of Fed space is upset with me for destroying an entire assault group of the Homeguard. Hey, they did come to get me to surrender (which they knew I wouldn't do)! As usual, Tim has done it again and come up with a great plug!
