So well aware what the ability does in PvP.
So I'll explain my problem, I'm a support/healer ship. And nothing worst then seeing my abilities switch to ally target or vice versa and enemy gets heal. Even if I manually target, still messes up. Now, I know I read somewhere how to disable the auto-targetting in a way that most fights has to be done manually.
I attempted to set "Assist Target on Attack" to OFF. But it didn't do anything, at all! If it was like the feature was still ON no matter what, possibly a bug.
I'm out of ideas honestly and didn't see anything else in the options that could help me.
P.S.: Healer ships are rare, return the favor by solving my problem?

Indeed, you must turn off 'Assist Target on Attack'.
But the current incarnation of Scramble Sensors makes -all- ships appear friendly, so your target (or target's target, if Assist is on) will always receive your buff/heal.
You must target yourself first, before you apply a buff/heal. Or, clear your target altogether. (It is always preferable to target yourself explicitly, just in case.)
In order to target yourself explicitly, hit F1 (default keybind to target self, which can be changed in the Key Binds menu) or right-click on your ship shields status indicator.
It is also helpful to use your keybinds to target team members explicitly.
Hope that helps.
What I want to do is manually target an ally ship and heal them, without before forced to heal another ship.
Turning OFF 'Assist Target on Attack' did NOT work. (Doesn't even work when I'm not scrambled, might be a bug)
Looking for solutions.
Thanks
This sounds like a bug in your case, since I never have a problem with auto-assist off.
That being said, I've seen some of the control settings "flip" unexpectedly though on me some nights, mainly the camera follow mode for me. It'll suddenly switch from Free to Follow when I enter a PvP map.
I hope this helps. I have a lot of experience against this skill as i am a full time carrier pilot.
thx for the info, this will save me alot of grief.
oh my god, im gona die, just a few more seconds for my engi team, 3...2...1... incomming heal. BOOM
FFS healed my teammate instead of myself, again. (team mate already at 100/100)
also, i get the feeling that when i try to heal, it tries to heal a teammate i previously targetted before.
devs when i whant to heal a teammate, ill click on that person and heal him. if i have no target exept a klingon, i should be casting the heal on myself. thats all thank u
I guess you read partially what I wrote. As I said, I already know what Scramble Sensors does
Problem isn't scramble sensors, is the feature that turns off auto-targeting. Even when not scrambled.
Once you do that, GM_Litana will probably be able to help you fairly quickly, at least in identifying if this is a bug or user error.
