Line 104:

* '''Passive Targeter''' (medium slot): Allows target lock without alerting the ship to a possible threat.

Auto Targeting Systems are rarely used ~~in practice~~, as they take up a valuable high slot and stop you from prioritising targets - although some pilots use them merely for their +2 target bonus (provided they have a spare high slot). Passive Targeters have a niche use, as they allow you to use non-aggressive modules (eg cargo or ship scanners) on a target without alerting the target - for instance, in order to check what cargo a ship is carrying and whether it's worth [[Suicide_Ganking_101|suicide ganking]]. To use a passive targeter, activate the module, then click on the target you would like to lock.
