I know I can set a default action but I don't really want one, sometimes I'm taking out the escorts other times I'm going after a few merchants before the escort gets near.



Why does the stupid idiot KEEP reporting the same ship, over and over again??

I don't recall this problem using ordinary subs.

any ideas?

p.s. apart from this idiot, the Uber-boot rocks!

I MAY have the solution.

I have observed this myself. It usually comes up when the ship is at the extreme edge of actual visual range for the conditions you are facing. What seems to happen is that unless the lookout is able to see it continually, it calls it as a separate ship each time he is able to spot it...usually about 1-4 second intervals. I had a situation very similar with my radar...and the answer was to turn it off temporarily.

Not sure exactly how you would fix it...but maybe knowing how it is happening will help...
