Fix The Healing Random TRIBBLE

It's getting old, you click a heal to save your ship and the heal goes to some random mine or fighter in space and not you.

THIS IS A GAME BREAKER I DON'T LIKE SEEING A RESPAWN SCREEN. IT NEEDS FIXED.

    Actually, there is an option to turn that off. Go into your options, select the Controls tab, and set 'Assist Target on Attack' to off. That will keep your heals and such from going to places you don't want them. Its meant to allow players to heal the main tank without switching targets. Granted, its annoying, since you can use the F1-F5 to do the targeting anyway, and I always switch that setting to off on making a new character, as it defaults to 'on'.

    Hope that fixes your issue.

    I have the problem the OP has and turning off Assist Target on Attack does not work to prevent this problem. Sometimes I can go long periods of time with no problems at all and then their are times the problem happens a lot it seems to be random.

    Yeah this is annoying as hell. Could do with a shield and hull heal, goes to press buttons, and the heals go to my HY plasma torp.
    Much rage ensues... :mad:

    Yeah, same here. I need that critical HE and TT, and suddenly my plasma torp has it.
    I ask nothing but that you remember me.

    Is 'Never Auto-Target Objects' and 'Never Auto-Target Pets' set to on?

    you do realize enabling those settings prevents you from tab targeting hostile pets and projectiles, including crystal shards and sphere pets from unimatrix things and other stf boss mobs, right?

    I know the effect of setting those two to on. 'Assist Target on Attack' may be bugged, but if it still auto-targets with those two previous settings on, then its something else entirely.

    When trying to find a bug or workaround, its best to consider all settings that could possibly affect the problem itself.

    I haven't had a heal or TT go to projectiles, but lately I have noticed I'll randomly target a plasma torp that I've just fired when I know I didn't hit tab. It's annoying when I'm shooting at a gate in a STF and suddenly I'm not shooting anymore because my target has switched all on it's own, doubly so because it resets my sensor analysis.

    Aye been playing since open beta and its never happened before. Now on my Romulan captain I'm using tactical team on a mine...

    My simple work around is not to use mines or similar. I hope it gets fixed though its blasted annoying.

    Ahh.. so THAT's what is causing it.

    Count me as one of those who has been getting continuously frustrated with the game auto-selected my mines since LoR.

    Also, can we have teamed players selectable by clicking on them in the party interface back? I have gotten used to 'raid healing' with my support corsair and it adds one more layer of convolution by having to swap targets with the function keys while maintaining distances, heals, pets and debuffs.

    I thought I was going crazy when all of a sudden I am targeting my own mine, not just heals but targeting it instead of what i was trying to kill. Happily firing away at some random ship that wants me dead and suddenly i am not firing anymore and target is replaced with a mine, highly disorienting when on my engi I have follow target on and suddenly the camera spins around pointing towards empty space.

    Seriouly this does need to be fixed, happened 5 times in one battle yesterday.

    Yes, this is a very bad bug. I have died and had multiple people die on my team because my heal went to a mine I just launched instead of my intended target. When bugs start causing people to die, it's time for them to be fixed.
