Vhorthex:
Our pleasure! Glad the focus fire node is a hit.
For the question on ship targeting preferences, an individual ship can have only one. BUT, if you do something like the L key subdivision (the L hotkey, I mean), or use control groups, or just visibly select half and half of your ships, then you could give half of each group different preferred targets to accomplish what you want. If you pair that with attack-move for a short-range battle, then you'll be in even better shape!

Thanks!
