In rare cases, the targeting display has gotten stuck, so that it would not show the currently selected weapon group's arcs.

In one case, I was rapidly pressing keys while my flagship was entering the map, and the weapon display got permanently turned off.

In another case, I accidentally transferred to the wrong ship, so I quickly changed to the correct one.  In this case, the targeting display was stuck on for the wrong ship, but the correct ship's display was permanently off.  This continued even after the wrong ship was destroyed.

Hi - hmm. Are you aware that there's a shortcut key to show/hide weapon arcs? By default it's the ~ key (to the left of the number row).

[chandl34]

It's possible I did that in the first case, but in the second case, a ship I wasn't piloting was showing its weapon display.  If it happens again, I will check if ~ fixes it.

Thank you! (Is this vanilla or with mods, btw?)

[chandl34]

I only have Detailed Combat Results installed.

Ok, good to know, thank you! (Not *impossible* that it might mess with this in some way, but not very likely, either, just - helps to be aware it's a possible factor.)

I don't know if this is related, but I just had my targeting reticle get stuck off of my ship.  I can use tilde to toggle it on and off, but it's not connected to my ship.  Here is a picture:

Hmm, very strange! Do you remember what you did before that happened? It seems like if something like this was commonly possible, it would have gotten reported before now, so, just trying to figure out what's special about this that's causing it.

[chandl34]

No, I'm not sure. 

In this stage of the fight, I do a lot of pausing and reopening the map, so I can order the Radiant and Monitors to change targets.  Probably every few seconds.

This Aurora is set to weapon group 7, so that all weapons auto-fire.  The only keys I would've been pressing are direction keys, Shift, and F for Plasma Jets.

Thank you! I'll keep an eye out for this.
