Agree.

 

Tab Target should work (sort of) like this ->

"Vakar Ashok, our gun arrays are now fixed on your ship and will fire the instant you come into range. You will find their power quite impressive... for a few seconds." Susan Ivanova

 

Not be a copy of bad code from other games ->

"Tab Target works 5% of the time honestly. You have to straight up spam tab to try TRY and target the person beside you." Vanche 7/21/2011

"Because I'm seriously getting tired of having five enemies beating on my face and I tab once and target the guy 60 yards away who hasn't aggroed me. And then mash tab about ten times to get back." mybbqrules 12/11/2012

"The phrase “tab-targeting” has become something of a bogeyman within the gaming industry, being used recklessly in discussion as a proxy for a host of flaws with combat systems, hit detection, or even game balance. All tab-targeting conventionally implies is an interface through which the player can cycle through available targets in order of proximity."
