What does MultiTracking do?
 

Please pardon the dumb question: What does MultiTracking do? I can't figure it out.

Re: What does MultiTracking do?
 

If you have a super ship with 10 Hig-Energy Magnifier, but without multitracking, you only can fire the 10 powerful weapons, against one ship at the same time.
If you have mult.tracking 10, you can fire against 10 enemies at the same time.

As MB says, it is supposed to let you target more than one enemy in a turn.

Unfortunately, you seem to be able to do that without it.

If you click off weapons, you can fire at one ship, click the unfired weapons back on, and fire them at another ship. I believe that is supposed to work only with multiplex tracking but it doesn't seem to require it.

Also, if you destroy a ship, you can redirect the unfired weapons you had trained on that ship elsewhere. I think that, too, is meant to be only for ships with multiplex tracking.

IOW, as far as I can tell, it's bugged.

Psitticine: what you said is right, but you was talking about tactic combats (when you can select the ships to fire on).
But the mult. track. works in strategy combats: try it in the combat simulator using the auto-resolve option.

It's a bug in the Demo. MM has fixed it so ships cannot fire on more than one ship if it does not have Multiplex tracking. This does not count for Point-Defense weapons.
