If you can see the ship, it should lock on, but it doesn't. There really wasn't a thing in the TDC that would 'lock' on a ship. It's just to make it easier for the game player. Why they chose to have it not lock even though the ship is clearly visible baffles me.
I disagree. The reason it won't stay locked on in bad weather or at extreme range is that it's nearly impossible to obtain proper information in those conditions.

Try it on manual. Half the time I can't even identify the ship until it's very close.
