Another notion from the past- I think it was the Fletcher Pratt (or was
it
the Fred Jane?) Naval rules that had "firing arrows" placed next to each
ship pointing at their target, prior to resolving the effects of fire. 
With
a little preparation, an analagous indicators could be made for FT. 
Perhaps
a piece of transparent plastic with a couple of beam lines or missile
launches on it?  A ship could lay 1 such indicator per Firecon.
