I believe you can manually assign targets in game, but you can't set them to a specific one via ship maker. By default, they target dynamically to focus on whatever sections are taking damage.

I made a custom ship and put some doodads on it, but for some reason they don't show up in game. I don't know why.

^Try looking around in the options on the BSF menu. I know that theres an option to turn off and on animated doodads.

^Thanks, they all work now. However I've been trying to make a space station, and I wanted it to rotate, but I'm not sure how to make the whole thing spin as one. Is there a simple way to do this?

Give it no speed or accel, and set the turnrate to whatever you want.
Although I'm 100% against rotating stations, they're no good for screenshots.

Otherwise, drop the subject, I'll forget you acted like an idiot, and you can forget about how I called you an idiot, or hold a grudge for no good reason. Whichever suits you.

I approved these posts and if 'Anna is a poopface lel' would like a different username they can send me a private message and I will change it for them

The post they quoted is ten years old, and yeah, I was kind of an asshole then. I regret much of the way I behaved in the past.
