targeting q and essential mods/downloads?

[pepperg]

hey all,
great great game! one thing is driving me nuts though. is there a command for targeting the ship which is in the center of your hud, preferrably right in the center over the hud display? what drives me nuts is flying up to a transport, wanting to quickly scan it to find out its contents. well, i have to cycle through what seems to be every single ship in my contact list before i get to it! meanwhile, the darn thing is flying off somewhere and is often gone before i get to it. is there a ‘target nearest ship (not hostile)’ or ‘target hud centered ship’ command. it would save a lot of time! also, i am trying to dodge missiles, but it’s not working. i wait until the indicator is beeping rapidly and then apply lateral thrust, but i still get hit.

also, can anyone give me a brief lesson in how to roll the ship?

finally, are there any essential mods or downloads which most folks consider vital? i don’t have the budget version of the game.

thanks,

pepper
