No Dragon, even though WP on planet are stacked, they will fire on separate targets without any multiplex target system ! During the battle, move cursor over planet, there'll be a small print in planet window "can target N", or something like that, where N is exactly number of WP.
Skigringer, what Version of SE are you playing ? In some older patches, weapon platforms where "acattered" over planet surfice and WP from the far corner could not sometimes target ships

THis is not exactly correct Oleg. I just ran some tests with a planet with 16 weapons platforms and 16 attacking ships and playing in tactical the most I can target is 10 different ships. Did not try it with multiplex to see if that had any effect, but I didn't get to target the same number of ships as I had WP's. THis was in 1.78.

There is definetly something going on. In tactical you can shoot at a ship and all your weapons will fire from the planet until the ship is destroyed. In strategic combat they will fire till the ship is destroyed, but not all the weapons will fire. It skips many of them and does not fire them at all.
