The image kind of speaks for itself, but to clarify, this mod adds a target leading pip in front of whatever ship you have targeted. If you shoot at that pip, you will generally hit the target. The algorithm takes into account your position and velocity, your target's position and velocity, your weapon group, the positions of the weapons in the weapon group, and the projectile speed of the weapons in the weapon group. Sometimes the target will be going too quickly to have any hope of hitting it, in which case the reticle may behave oddly, but this is rare.
Controls, colors, size, and line thickness are customizable.
