A gameplay mod: the key takes the nearest hostile fighter, torpedo, mine or anything else, and settles for a capital ship only when nothing else is in reach. Its player script hears the key and sends an event, and its global script picks the target. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

A gameplay mod: TARGET NEAREST ENEMY skips the capital ships. The game's key takes the nearest hostile ship of any class (
nearestin hud.zig), so a capital ship alongside the player wins over the fighter or the torpedo just behind it. With the mod, the key takes the nearest hostile fighter, torpedo, mine or anything else within the key's own reach, and settles for a capital ship only when nothing else is in reach, so a lone capital ship can still be targeted.Two scripts, as player scripts can't change the game:
nearest.luau(player) hears the key on Player Control from the cockpit or the chase view and sends an event;retarget.luau(global) picks the nearest wanted hostile and callsworld.set_player_target, skipping any the player can't aim at. The event lands at the next update, so the game's choice shows for a frame at most before the mod's replaces it.Checked in the Sandbox with the player moved beside the Badanov: with the Badanov the nearest hostile at 22,965 and the Sabres from 51,225, the target after the event is the nearest Sabre.
