I repeated the question a few times and his estimates were allway different and never anywhere near correct. When the ship passed out of sight (it was neutral) I asked him again, his reply: "nearest contact at bearing 374, range 76326464 (not the exact number he said but something like this)".
Is this the fog messing with something? In retrospect I think it's possible that the officer did not have a watch qualification, but I'm not sure?

Hmmm... Very odd.
The algorithm used for
wo_experience can't come up with such huge differences. It just alters the SH3 range finding a bit.
My guess is that there is something wrong with the
wo_targeting part of it. The memory area where the locked ship is supposed to be, is freed and are being used for something else. The estimates in such case, will seem to be totally random.
Why isn't the locked target cleared, since no ship is locked?
I'll have a look on it tonight.
Thanks for reporting.
