A firecon can target any ship, even one already targeted by another
firecon.
Since you're not using the standard rules for firing, but requiring a
target
lock roll, your group will need to agree on a resolution.  Under the
standard rules, allowing multiple firecons to fire the same weapons
would be
a stretch of the rules.  I would link each weapon to a firecon (using
the
standard rules for sharing a firecon as well).	If the firecon fails,
its
linked weapons do not have a target solution.  If the lock suceeds, all
weapons under that firecon's control may fire at the target.
