"next/previous target" random malfunction?

Oct 22, 2004 thurisaz link
I am constantly frustrated by the lack of functionality in the "[" and "]" targeting keys... they only seem to work across a random subset of the vessels that are within 3k of me... oftentimes I end up having to use "target under reticle" if I want to survey the group of targets I have in range.

Now, "x", or "nearest enemy" always seems to work perfectly. Is there something I'm missing, or are the "next/previous" behaviors a feature, rather than a bug??

in the interest of full disclosure, I've rebound next/previous target to my mousewheel, although I still see erratic behavior when I use the original "[]" keys.

this behavior has been persistant for quite some time... before the open beta, at least... maybe even back to 3.2, though my memory gets a bit foggy that far back... any chance of a fix, soon?

The next/prev functionality was around for a very long time and never worked quite right, so yes it is broke. I'll see what I can do to make it less broken.
