Every so ofyen when im in a fleet action an I pop a Engineering team to keep me alive, or a tactical team for a damage boost, I hit some random ally near me (who doesnt need it). HOW do I fix this? Ive heard that you have to go change something in the optiobns but I dont know what. I cant say how many times this TRIBBLE has gotten me killed

    I get this also. It appears to target through the enemy you have targeted and apply the effect to whatever friendly they're targeting. That's as far as I can tell.

    Hmm it's implied targetting. If you want to avoid that, try making sure you have yourself targetted before using the ability in question.

    You can disable that though in options/controls/ground : assist target on attack.

    the only time i ever notice this is when i'm firing on a target that i auto targetted. when i tab select a target all my stuff always applies to my ship, when i just start zapping and let the game pick my targets it always applies to the nearest ship to me.

    The implied targeting will typically have your abilities that are targetable [like say, Engineering Team/Science Team] goto the target of target if you have an enemy targeted. This is the assist on target feature mentioned before.

    The feature you are talking about is select auto target on attack I believe.
