    Ummm, that's the way it works.  One firecon allows you to fire at
one target with some or all weapons; two firecons allow you to split
your fire between two targets or fire all at one, so on and so forth. 
In other words, fire controls have NO effect on the number of weapons
you can fire; they only affect the number of TARGETS you can shoot at. 
    
    Not exactly.  One fire con will allow you to fire all your SML's and
beams at one target.  Torps and needle beams require a separate fire
con.
