Tracking Targets
Tracking targets is not easy. If you're escorting a ship or chasing an enemy, even if he's targetted, you can lose him. How do you find a target visually in the vastness of space? You'd think with technology this advanced there's be some HUD info pointing toward your target.

Re: Tracking Targets
well, there's a non=specific red dot on your radar if he's within sensor range.

Re: Tracking Targets
Press F8. Points the camera toward whatever you have targeted, otherwise it works like the default view.

Re: Tracking Targets
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but if you have something targetted and press F8 your view will center on the targetted object. When I am in combat, I use a combination of F8 and F7 views to keep an eye on my target and to see where I am going. It takes a while to get used to, but then it becomes almost automatic. I also set my radar to 300 ls as I find that helpful in keeping an eye out for obstacles while dogfighting using the F8 view.
