[Suggestion] Tracking ROM

Basically, instead of a line of sight for the player, a tracking cursor appears on the enemy, right in front of where it will be. It will calculate based on what weapon you have to hit it at the spot that the enemy will be. You would need a Targeting ROM first so it's an upgrade.

I think he means it would calculate the speed of the ship and mark how far in front of it you'd have to shoot to hit it with your current weapon, usefull for slow missile weapons against fast ships

So you would need to have the Targetting ROM first right?

Yeah, it has to stack with the targetting ability to target one ship for that ability. Do you think it would be more beneficial or should all ships display such a cursor?

Something similar to this could very well be modded into the game right now.

It would be rather clunky, but you could have an extension like the missile defense turret that fires a stream of 0 damage shots toward said target. It would be an omni-weapon, so it would always try to fire where the enemy will be.
If that didn't work, you could just have it as a secondary weapon.
