My idea is that Control + R on an enemy or ally ship would target the ship but for only the currently selected weapon group, as well as the ability to set fighter wings to weapon groups. This would allow you to have one ship targeted for the main weapons, but have your missile groups target another ship. Or for fighters assigned to different groups you could regroup only one wing of fighters or split target them. Have your bomber wings strike one ship and an interceptor wing defend the carrier from a flanking frigate.

Not entirely related but some fleet control for fighters/carriers would be appreciated too. Currently they seem unpredictable and send their fighters where ever they want even if you tell the carrier to engage a target. Fighter escort, intercept, and strike commands being reimplemented would be nice or just ships with the engage and eliminate commands would always be targeted by a nearby carrier.
