-The ability to navigate, both in and out-system, requires a pilot to lock onto a navigation point (base, planet,sun, wormhole, ship, etc). Communication requires you to lock onto a target, before selecting which communiqué you will give. Wingmen require you to target them before giving orders. As such, learning how to target is an important skill, possibly making the difference between targeting and shooting your opponent before he does you, or, making an escape with your cargo intact and not becoming space debris.

 Various keys allow the pilot to target different points of interest within a system. You can also cycle through all available targets within a system. This is usually when you want to see what's out there. Unfortunately, cycling through all targets is a long process. As such, other targeting keys are more specific. You can cycle through all neutral and/or significant targets such as bases, planets and points of interest. You can narrow this further and only cycle through non-natural targets such as stations and ships. The most important for battle is the ability to cycle through targets targeting you. You can also cycle through these targets in reverse.
-When targeted on large ships or stations, you can also cycle through their sub-units. Lastly, you can point your ship at an object and target it that way. Once you have a target marked, you can lock your target indicator to that target. Wherever you are facing, or wherever your target is, you can find them without having to hunt through all other targets in the system. This locking capability also allows any missiles or torpedoes carried to also lock onto your target.

 One of the most useful shipboard abilities in Vega Strike is Targeting. While most pilots consider targeting as only useful in combat, in truth it is required to perform nearly all in-flight functions.
