Multi-Target Lock
Is it possible to lock on to multiple targets and assign a weapon to each? There are some missions where I would love to just lock on to all 3 and set guns to auto fire.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to do that "at this time." However, if we ask the devs for it, we might get it down the line. I am not sure how they coded the targeting and damage application in this game.

Bummer I sort of assumed so but hoped maybe I just hadn't unlocked it. Is there any real point to having different types of weapon systems on a single ship? I would imagine given the range and forced single target you would probably always want the same weapon.
I'm imagining a scenario where you may have a frig in close orbiting and some sniper off a ways and want to send one weapon type at one ship and another at the other. If that makes sense. I could be crazy though.

Hard to say right now because it has only been a few days since the game was released and the number crunchers haven't done testing yet. However, the game plays near-exactly like Eve online. As such, you want to stick with the weapon system that your ship gives bonuses to.

That was possible in Eve, but not sure how well that would do in this game because you generally want to focus your DPS on a Target to break it's tank.

Locked target only affects artillery. Your eleanor due on whichever one you tap on and highlight. So you CAN tap one, fire one weapon, tap another, fire other weapons
