<h2>The Target Arrow</h2>
<p><img src="arrowNorthEast.png" align="left" alt="Target Arrow">
The Target Arrow can be used to locate enemies and point you in
the direction that the enemy craft is. You can toggle the Target
Arrow between three mode by pressing "T" on the keyboard: Off,
Mission target only, and All targets. This arrow is very useful
for finding enemies that are evasive (such as transports) on
missions that require you to destroy all present craft. Simply
follow the arrows to find the enemy. The arrows will not be
displayed when you are within the immediate vacinity of the
target. On certain missions (such as Bosses) the mission target
arrow will initially point towards a certain target that is part
of the mission objective. The target's current remaining shield
is also displayed in the bottom right hand corner of the
screen.</p>
