Re: Strategies...Damage section?
 

"Strongest" works well, also.

Multiplex shows up well with specialty weapons. Engine killers will pick one ship, then the ordinary weapons may well choose a different ship. Why? Because the different ship didn't have engines!

If a ship has all APB for instance, it will continue firing at a ship in the same combat round till it is destroyed even if all weapons are destroyed. It will not choose another target until the next round. This is just my observation and may not be 100% true.

A more detailed weapons targeting system would have helped.

Re: Strategies...Damage section?
 

"has weapon" works very well as a target priority.
Not so sure anymore about "fire till all weapons gone".
