The targeting is absolutely horrid. My ships literally did the worst thing possible and left every single enemy ship at 1 hit. Causing us to lose an absolutely impossible to lose fight. I know it's an auto battler. But it's not an "auto battle as incompetently as possible-r". Way too many newer auto battlers are doing this on itch, I've noticed. Where you have literally 0 control over targeting and the dev didn't bother making your units target in any kind of remotely reasonable fashion. Making targeting RNG be the only thing that determines if you win or lose, rather than anything remotely skill related.
Edit: Enemy crit makes it even dumber. The enemy crits A LOT. Like it's not at all uncommon for them to get back to back crits. And when they do, you instantly lose.
