Every time I tab out and back in I cant see my ships sights
« on: January 09, 2013, 03:02:31 AM »

What the name says.
Tabbing out and in makes the sights disappear. Why is that in the game for any reason or is just an odd bug?
And yes before I get 500 replies saying you can fix it, I know, but why does it exist in the first place??

PS. starting a new game still sucks cause you get a crap ship and have to farm like 10 hounds to get anywhere every single time :P

I guess you don't use a US keyboard layout? It's probably one of the keys you hit for changing tabs, not the process itself. My German keyboard toggles weapon arcs with the strangest keys, for example the "mute" media key.

Why that is I have no idea.

The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.

Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.
