Sorry, yeah, fire directed at the target that has a passive lock on it.

That was my shorthand, simply because I don't have all the weapons rules
memorized, especially for the aliens in FB2.  (8-)  Doing a quick lookup
however...

For anything using the beam mechanic and P-Torps, the to-hit roll is
reduced 
by a -1.  A natural 6 is still treated as a natural 6.

For SMLs, -1 to the number of missiles rolled (this penalty may not be
severe enough, now that I think about it.)

Nova Cannon / Wave Gun aren't affected because they affect a large area.
(And this would apply to any other area-effect weapon that relies on
one gigantic explosion/burst of energy.)

Kra'Vak Guns: -1 to hit
Sa'Vasku Stinger Nodes: -1 to hit
Phalon Pulsers: -1 to hit
Plasma Bolts: -1 to damage roll

I think that's it....
