I would probably let the ship try to target the one ship with all
firecons
if the player wanted. That would actually give firecons an extra use. On
the
other hand, I would make him declare all his firecons before he started
to
roll to hit with his weapons. If he wants to use all three firecons on
your
ship, he gives up the chance of firing at any other ship that turn.
