Cannot click-target teammates from nameplates.

Well, the bug reporting in-game is bugged (lol) so I'm posting this here.

I am unable to click-target my teammates from their namesplates on the left side of the UI while grouped. I can click their ships (if I can find it in the mess) or click-target them from my target of target when I select an enemy, but unable to click-target them directly from the left side using their nameplates. This is for the space UI. I haven't tried it on the ground yet.

I primarily play a healer/debuffer (yep, you read that correctly) so this makes my job much more difficult while grouped. Just passing this along - hopefully it'll be fixed soon. Thanks!

    I noticed this also when doing Mirror Invasion as I too pass out a lot of heals.

    I ended up right clicking everybody to select them for healing, but that's a bit of a nuisance as it clutters the top of your screen more. I failed to try the Function buttons, they may work still?

    I think my sensor scan has been nerfed as well :(

    target teammates (meatshields) using the F2, F3 etc still works

    easiest found so far to heal is select a teammate, use the "pin icon/focus on" ability and then all you have to do is click on that person to heal

    I can usually pin something like the fleet base when doing the fleet defense or something similar, but when I am tasked with healing more than one person/target, click-targeting is something that I need access to. I'll look into using the function keys and I could probably create keybinds anyway if I really wanted to, but my usual click-targeting being corrected would be most helpful.

    I'll bug it as soon as the bug reporting issue has been resolved.

    Hopeing this is a bug, instead of working as intended.

    Exact same thing happen to me. The ground targeting seems to be fine. Also a healer here and I'm using a laptop without the function keys so basically I can only select my team mates from target of target in the battle.


    I really hope this bug get fixed soon. Please I know there are a lot of healers int the game and this bug is making our job much more difficult than necessary.

    Noticed this also. Not sure why they changed this unless it was a silly mistake.

    Update on this bug and I've sent a ticket in now that the bug reporting system in-game in functioning again. This only seems to be broken on the space UI. I was able to click-target nameplates on the ground UI.
