need a little help with targeting
so i created a ship and got it in game, but for some reason i can't target it. Could it be due to the fact that it only has an engine subsystem, nothing else?

Re: need a little help with targetin'
Ships don't technically need any subsystems at all. One of mine is a 25km monstrosity with no subsystems, can target it just fine.

I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

What was the cause?
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.
