how do you target an escort in EV?

Help me pawn them off

hello everyone. my windows has been emulated to run like a mac
(only when I tell it to). Now i can play EV πŸ˜„ (bored of Nova). i have unfortunantly run across a probklem that i wish to solve. when i capture a ship,select it to be myescort, and cycle through my targeting system i can not target my escort again.
i am looking for a way to posibly re-target him and sell him or release him.

i would like to know how and need help. thank you.

Check the controls in the menu. I think there is a special combo for escort selection... (haven't actually played EV in a while, my mac is a 1993 junkbox) but I don't remember it right now. most likely tab+something else.

The combination Mr. Moose is talking about is option-tab. For you, it's probably alt-tab. I don't know if this changes because of the Nova port.

hey it didn't work. i know i am using an emulator but, there is also no selection in the set preferences either.

Tough space cookies, pal.

You could try to get your escort killed by pirates...

What you seem to be looking for is option-target. Target is set default to tab. No selling escorts in EVO. That came about with Nova.

It seems you need a new target key so you don't switch programs. I'd be interested to see what Basilisk would think if you pushed the windows key. Not something I've tried yet.
