Summary0010154: CTRL auto-target trains
DescriptionCan we have a CTRL that allows all our units/turrets to target trains when they are in range.

So annoying to have my forts just sit there when they could do some serious damage to those trains whilst passing whilst i'm doing other things.

Copying my message on that post:

I think the follosing trains need to be auto targetted by default.

Tractor trains
Cargo trains
EMP trains
Nuke trains

This control option can toggle auto targeting for the rest of the types.

Also, an across the board nerf to train HP may be in order.

I would like to note that I think an HP nerf to the Cargo Train is in order. It doesn't have to be as low of an HP as a Nuke Train, but somewhere between the standard HP and the "fragile HP" seems reasonable.

Independently of this Mantis report, three players support this idea in a thread on the forums: http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,17600.0.html

This seems to be a problem with a lot of things that are supposed to be tough-but-not-invinicible, and not major threats: they've been set to not be autotargeted so you don't waste shots.

The problem is, this doesn't consider the case where there is *nothing else for your guns to shoot at*
