Not a bad idea... I say they should do that.

that would make escourt missions easy as **** though

Well, maybe not a lead reticle then. That way normally targetting bombs still has an advantage. The "Auto-Bomb" thing would be a way more easily identifing where the bombs are.

Or to make it even more ingeniously complex, only make it mark the bombs of the friendly ship you have targetted.

we're going to need a separate set of training missions for all this new stuff we're planning on putting in.   dedicated a good portion of the early training missions to auto-target and auto-speed

You implement the feature, I'll edit the training missions as required.

How about a way to put all bombs in white brackets (like the asteroids) when you press B? One would still be red; the closest, but you would know where the rest were...

Also remember that 'b' will target the nearest bomber if no bombs are in the field.  I still think auto-bomb should work like auto-target; (when your current target is destroyed, do the same thing that would happen if you pressed 'h'), only with 'b'.

That would be a nice feature.

While we're on this, it'd be nice to have an "attack wing" command like in XWA. Fighters would attack the designated wing until it stopped respawning or you gave them new orders. It would help with escorts, especially against bombers.

While we're going for non-clandestine requests, how about an "Auto Shoot Down Dragon" toggle?

That's the best idea in this thread

That is a very, very good idea.
