I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT FIGURE OUT how to get my ships to fire on alien targets 60 m away. Here is my current ship design
Belknap class Destroyer 15,200 tons 1509 Crew 8204.4 BP TCS 304 TH 600 EM 120
16447 km/s Armour 9-54 Shields 4-300 Sensors 14/14/0/0 Damage Control Rating 81 PPV 44

This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes

Well, with an enemy 60 million klicks away, it sure will be difficult to hit him with guns that have a max. range of 120 k :)

your attempting to fire on enemies 60 MILLION kilometers away when your max range is 120 kilometers (get missiles)

You also have way more maintenance than needed (most people I've seen go for roughly 2 years of lifetime on their ships) and you're providing 64 power every 5 seconds but your 4 meson cannons can only use 8.
Oh, and your shields are kind of pointless. With only 2 generators at 2 strength each they can absorb only 4 damage before failing, regenerate 1 point every 75 seconds. By comparison your 9 layers of armor can absorb a total of 486 points of damage, with a minimum of 9 in a single spot before a hull breach.
