Okay.  The Tier 2 FTL could emit a signal which, now that I think
about it, could be non-FTL.  A ship could catch that signal, determine
which way the target is going, and give chase.	From directly ahead,
you wouldn't be able to spot it, because the ship would be moving
faster than the signal.  Analogy would be using sound to track a
supersonic plane.

Good idea.
