Well, at GenCon Mike Miserendino and I both had Jon Tuffley (the game
designer) viewing our games.  Both of us ran the "one FireCon per Torp
target".  That seems fairly official on a ruling right there. 
Seriously, a
FireCon is the targeting and sensor system.  Similar weapons should be
able
to share the data provided by the FireCon.  Even telemetry-hungry
weapons
like Needle Beams can share a FireCon when they are targeting the same
area.
 Given the different firing solutions between beams and pulse torps,
they
need seperate FireCons to work their respective shots, but on the same
target
all similar weapons should be able to share the targeting data.
