In FT, it is perfectly reasonable for a measurement to be taken from a
ship to anything on the table for each firecon mounted.  However, the
measurments are made when that ship is declared to fire and targets
are selected from the things measured to; unless there are still
unallocated firecons.  This makes smaller ships chasing each other
through asteroid swarms a bit interesting-- do I trust my eyeballing,
or measure the distance to the object that I hope to fly by.
