Only if you are using a a class of ship that you've used in previous
games or one from the upcoming Fleet Book. I mean, most people have no
idea what my Tsarist Borodino class ships have. In a campaign game
this would be a major asset just knowing the ship's name, assuming
that the ship and/or class had been encountered before. I think that's
the point, though.

I assume that fire cons, since they have a targetting component, has
some sort of sensor array that is vulnerable.
