Added
- One reticle picker shared by right-click and the configurable target key for rocks, rare resource nodes, ships and stations.
Changed
- Nearer surfaces under the reticle take priority over objects behind them; a small aim allowance helps with distant objects.
- Left-click mines the selected asteroid through the existing equipment and range checks.
Fixed
- Normal ore asteroids were excluded by the old hostile-only right-click search.
- Target selection now follows the drawn reticle when the chase camera is offset.
- Solo and locally hosted neutral patrols no longer reverse every frame outside their boundary. The shared-server follow-up is recorded in Experimental 9.
