I assume "weapons" include point defence here, just as it does for the
vapour shrouds?

Questions:

2 "hits" - is that "2 dice which inflict damage" or "2 damage points",
or something else? 

What happens if you get *more* than 2 "hits"? (I guess that you intend
this to count as a "success" as well, but that's not what the above
rule says.)

Does Enhanced or Superior Sensors help defeat this system?

How many targets can a single enemy ship roll for to see if it may
shoot at them? (Ie., if it fails the check against one particular
target, can it try
to target another one before it allocates weapons to the one(s) it can
attack?)
