Press b to mark priority targets
Alistair MacBain:
The rangefinder was intended as a alternative to the spyglass to actually give crew a choice in pilot tools. It just isnt needed. It was a nice thing but it doesnt give any benefit in a match.
Experienced players dont need it and new players dont know how to utilize range info.

I think the biggest problem with the range finder is that stupid circle that doesn't help with aiming.

If they got rid of it and just gave us the distance in meters, it would be useful.
If they recoded it to give us only the two dimensional distance rather than including altitude, it would be useful.
If they made the distance remain on the screen until the enemy loses the spot, it would be useful.
If the rangefinder could temporarily spot ships for a short duration (like press b to captain spot), it would be useful.

is it just me or this function gained an increase in use recently. Before posting this I havent been seeing it and then suddenly nearly every vet I know does it.

People have been using it since it's been implemented. It's very useful
