Ship Targeted by other ship indicator please

[Snarfbuckle]

Whenever I select a ship they INSTANTLY pop out their hardpoints in response.

HOW do they know Im selecting them as a target?

-I merely check available information and not scanning them.

So, why cant WE as player get a warning when another ship selects us as a target? The only indicator WE have is whenever they open fire.

thats a good point, though i suspect they are deploying hardpoints, becuase you are targetting them AND have your hardpoints deployed. thats makes sence.

A text warning advising that to us would be good too, similar to incoming missle warnings

Yea, but HOW do they know Im targeting them...

-I have hardpoints deployed
-I LOOK at them (no scan, merely selecting them)

Its the equivalent of being a soldier with a weapon in your arms looking at someone across the street who for no reason pull out their gun the moment they FEEL watched.

That's some psychic ability right there.

I mean, I don't know WHEN the NPC's are selecting my ship and look at the general information at 6 kilometers away.
