Multicrew - targeting subsystems

[Graythe]

Dear all,

Is it possible for a telepresence gunner to target and then fire on a target ships subsystems? I go to the left hand panel, target a ship, go to the 'target' tab and target a subsystem, enter gunner view - and lose target lock on the system I just targeted. I can still fire at the ship but not the desired subsystem. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in anticipation.

Don't believe so - person who has invited me to multicrew a few times specifically mentioned it + sample threads below

Multicrew subtarget

Me and a friend are trying to fight the thargoids but we cant seem to figure out how to target the hearts as a gunner. Can gunners even target subsystems?

Please allow the Multi-crew Gunner to be able to sub-target Thargoid Hearts.

I understand that a multi-crew gunner can't sub-target systems due to 'Balance' Issues against other Human Ships. However, I would suggest that an exception be made to allow the hearts of Thargoid vessels to be targeted. Even if it's only AX weapons that can sub-target, it would be a boost to...

Thanks Blaggerdy,

It does make one wonder what on earth the idiot point was of including and populating the 'Target' tab with the list of subsystems and allowing a telepresence gunner to lock one of them as a target only to lose lock when entering gunner view. What would it have cost to either finish the job or display a message explaining the inability to maintain a locked target as a balance issue rather than a bit of shoddy and incomplete work. Bleh! Thanks for making sense of it!!
