When you use the stadimeter to insert range, you also insert bearing. The TDC then uses your crosshairs to determine the hit point (white "x" on the attack map when PK is engaged). If the target is locked, the crosshairs will be centered on the midsection of the ship ... but, if you take a stadimeter reading with the crosshairs centered fore or aft (no lock) then your computed hit point will also be fore or aft of the target's midsection.
