How about targeting incoming missles with my antimissle missles? Do I have to independently target each individual missle?
You can assign each fire control a point defence mode and it will engage automatically. On the Combat window (F8), the fire control modes are near the top right. I would suggest "three anti-missiles per target missile" as the starting mode and you can adjust from that as the combat progresses.
Don't forget once you set up one ship you can copy it to others of the same class. Also, if you are stuck you can press the Auto FC button on the Ship window (next to Close) and it will create a reasonable fire control setup that you can modify if you want to.
