Is it possible to target multiple ships?

[Phoenix-D]

One per weapon would get unweildy pretty quick, I'd think; one per bank might be manageable.

The problem comes in thus: which ship is focused on when you hit F8 then?

Right, scratch that bigger problem:

Control. Right now its simple. Press Y or T, or right click on your target. Target selected.

Now, how do you do this with four Groups, and still keep the targeting fast enough that you'd be better off multi-targeting rather than cycling through to fire?

right-click twice to select a focus, once to add it to the list, thrice to remove it.

Once we do have the ability to target multiple ships, then we would be able to mod weapons that attack more then one ship. Missile w/ multiple warheads, dual beam weapon, or web mines (a field of small mines). Also this would give us the ability to track enemies while we are w/i the system. So we would not lose site of your enemy when you go to space dock to repair, reload, or upgrade.

Currently I'd just been using the i key to cycle through the oponents and fireing all out weps when that happens. Works well enough but probably not what you were looking for.
