Hi. No problem with the slow reply.
It's a bit of a non-issue now as the battle is over - but I don't think your suggestion is the case. I was fighting 300+ swarm soldiers and just going down the list repetitively assigning each ship, just one FC, to each target, and firing off a complete salvo, then repeating ad-nauseam.
I later noticed the ship actually firing the missiles each time at the correct target, but still giving the 'target not found' message; so I've no idea what was going on there.
I'm training the crew up, and I'll see how they fare next time - it's the only difference I can see between the fleets that could have been causing it. Still, as long as they fire the damn missiles I guess I can live with weird error messages.
Cheers
