I'm honestly amazed that this campaign is apparently still being worked on. But in the latest version, 2.0.2, I can't seem to use the target monitor box in the lower left corner of the screen. Is this supposed to happen or do I need to do something? It's kind of awkward to play without it.

Also, sometimes I can target ships on my escort list but I can't actually see the escort list. Not sure what that's about.

Always had the impression that any limited HUD gauge in the Unification War is actually a feature to show the technical advancements in-universe.

So that ships simple does not have a Target Monitor then...

My guess at least.

Is one of my releases broken or not working? Please send a PM here, on Discord at @novachen or on Twitter @NovachenFS2, a public tweet or write a reply in my own release threads here on HLP, because these are the only threads i am still participating in.

It's a little confusing because it was there in the original version. And also in the new version I can target ships from the beginning while in the original version it takes like half a dozen missions or so before you're allowed to do that.

I didn't like how in the original for a few missions you couldn't target anything and then magically you get the full fs2 sensor suite working. Thus in the rewrite I changed the sensors to gradually get better.

If a man consults whether he is to fight, when he has the power in his own hands, it is certain that his opinion is against fighting.
