okay a couple points:
it's Thermal sensors on the missiles recommended earlier - so they seek on a random object nearby with high thermal emissions, like say big old civilian freighters. just...be careful heh. I haven't actually fooled around with that myself...
I believe the tractor beam method uses the Ships (F6) dialog, try going through that rather than the Task Groups (f12) dialog.Been to every ship-based screen and civ ships do not appear anywhere as possible targets.
have you tried canceling their orders in the shipping lines dialogue?
