In the game Starsiege, the trainer tells the pilot to always target the enemy, never shoot by guessing, although you still hit them, the cannons have an ever so slight auto aim to them scripted by a slight Homing feature. Tech room readouts of the Avenger and others call for auto targeting and other stuff that doesnt coincide with the Reticle feature of the late 20th century. Why not make the canons in the near future campaigns slightly homing, so they autotarget, but not much, say they change velocity up to 6 inches in real life. they fire the same dumbfired and no player can see them home, they just feel the are autotargetted to that ship, but it still requires Much reticle action, it doesnt really help the player much but still gives the feeling of evolution in the terms of freespace weapons!
