I am noticing that my ships do not like to fire their guns if a friendly is between them and their target. While I appreciate my screen ships actually trying to intercept incoming ships, once they come between my battle line ships and the enemy the battle line ships stop firing. The proximity of my screen/scout ships to my battle line or the enemy does not seem to make a difference. Once they are in the sight line my ships stop firing and do not even try to retarget an enemy ship with no friendlies in between. It is a bit frustrating to have my heaviest guns doing nothing throughout much of the battle. As a possible enhancement for a future update, it would be nice if I could target specific ports when increasing capacity instead of upgrading all ports. This would allow me to upgrade where I want to increase my power projection without spending funds in areas where I feel I have enough capacity.
