What if you could randomly apply your locks, modules and drones to any enemy within range? This could allow for evenly spreading ewar and DPS as an alternative to focus firing.

Obviously there's very good reasons for focused attacks, but it's also very straightforward to do. An FC calls out a target and then everybody locks him up and starts shooting. Trying to spread rather than focus attacks, however, is more challenging and therefore less often done. The way most of our overviews are set up doesn't really lend itself to true randomness in target selection, especially with large numbers of foes, so an FC can't expect his fleet members to carry out such an order effectively.

It wouldn't always or even usually be the best idea but as an option it would surely add some new tactics to fleet battles. It seems to me that ewar modules be the main beneficiary, since in a large enough fleet you could potentially expect to land an ewar module on each enemy. Could also make battles look more "cinematic" in the right circumstances.

You could also have an option for semi-random automatic targeting where the modules go after what they think is the most appropriate. So your light drones will chase a random frigate (if possible) while your guns will target a size-equivalent ship. You could set a limit on how many auto-locks your ship is allowed to make in order to save some for yourself.

Guys spread points, pick a target who's name starts with a similar letter to yours and point it!
