Heals and Buffs go to random players :(

When I am in a space fight and need a heal to shields or hull 9/10 it will go to some random Fed that just happens to be in the area and it's so frustrating, I have died loads of times because of this system. Is there a self cast button like in WOW where by if I do NOT have any ally player targeted everything I cast goes to myself?

    You need to go into options/controls while in SPACE, and uncheck Help on target or something like that, I'm at work and cant get your the exact wording. You will need to do this on both ground and space.

    I believe it is called "assist on attack" or words to that effect. deselect it.

    I had this issue for months before I figured out what was going on. Deselect the option called "assist on target" or something similar.

    What is happening is that if you have an enemy targeted, and you use a buff, it'll automatically apply to the target of the enemy you have targeted. It's handy for healers if you and a teammate are fighting the same enemy, but I imagine most folks will want to heal themselves first...unless they're in an explicit healer role.

    You can also hit F1 to target yourself before releasing the buff if you won't want to deselect Assist on Target.
