FB1 p.7, "Area-Defence Control (ADFC)". Line 4 in particular omits the
old ADFC ability to target any fighters within 6mu (whether or not they
actually attack anything), and the note in italics at the end of this
section specifically points out that the ADFC rule replaces the ADAF
one.

Since the MKP rule doesn't say anything about special FCS requirements,
they use the default FCS rule on FT2 pp.7-8. Sorry for the rather vague
answer, but I'm not sure of what you mean with "themselves".

For targetting fighters etc: FT2 p.8.

For targetting spaceships: FB1 p.12. This is NOT a carry-over from FT2,
since the FT2 point defence systems weren't able to harm spaceships at
all and therefore never had any need of FCS guidance in FT2.
