    Not much to say besides the title really. When I mouse over an entity a yellow diamond appears. Only once have the missiles diverted their course to face the target, but so far I can't get them to follow a pirate/ship. I have not seen "aiming reticle will turn around and flash green when it is locked" [starmadewiki] at all since updating.

    Any ideas?

    Hello there,
    tested that.
    Seems to work for me.


    Please make sure you have added the following:

    Power (to charge it up, at least once)
    SD-BB Missle computer
    SD-BB Missle-array

    You also have to assign it a key - weapons menu
    and select the weapon in the hotbar.

    Also make sure, you keep the target inside the circle showing up.

    You'll have to skip around the video because it's long.

    You don't have a center reticle circle on you video when in a ship. It's the aiming point for lock-on. It might be off screen perhaps. I would suggest trying several different resolution settings to see if any are different.

    Well the reticle circle is back although I didn't change anything. Thanks for the fix suggestion!

    Okay, after trying to get that circle to vanish for about 30 minutes, I gave up yesterday.

    Good it solved itself.
