>From the way the particular rule is written, I'd say a single FireCon
is all that is needed. Also, Needle Beams, which are even more specific
weapons than pulse torpedoes, only require one FireCon if all Needle
Beams are firing at the same specific target. So I don't see any reason
why pulse torpedoes should be any different.

If they do each need their own individual FireCon, it can make them
very expensive (especially for smaller ships, which can't afford to
spare the limited number of FireCons they get free).
