I've been playing for a long time, and don't remember having this happen before:

I thought "f" and "t" only cycled through targets within the range of your LRS. Is this a bug, or was it changed and I missed it?

Sometimes if you cycle through enough, you get that. Most of the time it just says "Unknown Hostile" or "Unknown Friendly"

I checked the targeting in 1.05 and 1.06, and its as expected, only cycling through targets out to 100. In 1.06a you can cycle through targets out to 500.

And here I thought that it was a problem with my ship... Hadn't gotten around to checking it out in another ship.

I noticed that and thought it was intentional (i.e., new feature). After all, if the player knows of a static target, why not let him select such known targets so he can bombard them with homing missiles from extremely long range.

I'm assuming this is intended behaviour at this point. I seem to recall always being able to do this with friendly stations, so it's not terribly surprising. Close?
