Tachyon: The Fringe Wiki

One of the most helpful systems a pilot can install, the Lead Targeting Assistant displays a predicted impact point (PIP or pip) on the HUD that the pilot can fire at to accurately hit moving targets. Without this system, pilots must estimate how far ahead of the target they must fire to score a hit.

This is a must have addition to your fighter. Developed by Navitec, the Lead Target Assistant is a software program installed on your central computer. Processing the velocity and distance of your target, the Lead Target Assistant displays an optimal targeting pip in real time on your HUD. Firing at the displayed pip will greatly improve your firing accuracy resulting in quicker kills.

Notes[]

  • The Lead Targeting Assistant is one of the three systems automatically given to the player at the start of a new game. The other two are the Afterburner and the Combat Scanner.
