Suggestion: Targetable combat

Second post for me today, woot.
Anyway, I would LOVE to see the option to choose which enemy ships are targetted and in what order in the combat viewer. I'm sick of my ships getting blasted from one ship who mine aren't armoured against and yet my ships focus on the enemy that can't hurt them at all. I hope that made sense.

yes, some control over the combat would indeed be very nice

too much micro for me. I like watching the inevitable.

Leave it as it is.

Part of the problem is that the current way of calculating the targeting order doesn't always return the actual ideal targeting order, so at times the player has to watch helplessly while his or her ships fire on the "wrong" target. The flip-side of this is that it's possible to design fleets that intentionally "game" the system by exploiting this mismatch.

Ideally, there'd be no input required from the player, but the targeting order would be better calculated... best of both worlds.
