question about multiple targeting

[abkaiser]

Hello!

Have a fairly basic question about ship combat:

Say I have 4 missles on a ship. Say my ship is fighting 2 bad guys. I've tried to fire 2 missles at one ship, then fire 2 missles at the other ship. However, I can't perform this action in the same turn!

To make sure I'm understanding the rules right, can someone confirm my theory:

"One ship can fire at only one target per turn. Weapon fire cannot be split between multiple "

This is true if you do not have a multi targeting componet on your ship

I never see any mechanisim in tactical combat that would allow me to split fire when I have a multiplex tracking component -- I just select a target with the mouse and it fires untill all weapons have fired or the enemy ship dies. Am I missing something?

Something MM should really do is write a combat tutorial. Like the game tutorial, you load a scenario that starts combat and follow a help file step by step.

yeah, if you deselect some of your weapons, they wont fire. then you can select them and fire them at another ship. thrilling, eh?
