auto select corpse when target is killed

that would really save clicks and time. another feature we used in live :=)

This feature has been in the game for some time ...

It might not work when you're grouped, as there is a round-robin loot allocation system, but when not grouped, if you haven't already switched target when the husk forms you'll auto-target the husk.

i think it could make it select the corpse, if you still had the target selected when it died.

yesterday i had a group made with 3 characters. i was hunting alone, the other 2 were at a station. it did not select the corpse after killing the target.

However, I do recall as a Progen Warrior in live switching to other targets with my weapons while the last lot of projectiles were flying towards my dying target. If suddenly my current angry target switched to a corpse, this would cause some mild disquiet with the universe as a whole.

Consider the Terran who may be launching missiles at several targets, then loosing lock on the main one because one of the escorts has been destroyed and now you see that in your target.

I would agree, automatically view the last corpse you created unless you are currently in combat of a new (hostile) target. If this is the time period to when the ammunition hits this target and thus makes a local inhabitant know you are in the vicinity and challenging its' right to this area (possible) then your view should switch to the hostile.

Its not a matter of switching back to a dead corpse once it dies if your in combat and change to keep your guns firing the meaning is when you are killing, and you are still on target of a mob that dies, it drops that target in group. If you switch target before said target dies that is understandable to not retarget the dead one.

This is actually frustrating when grouped and killing mobs especially in groups of them and having to retarget the dead one after you destroy it. So alot of times I'll just leave group so I dont have to reacquire my dead target to loot.
