Subject: Tau Skyray Markerlights: Need Quick Answer

OKay, two of my friends are in the middle of a game, and this came up:
The Tau Skyray has seeker missiles, 2 networked markerlights, and a Target Lock...reading up on the RAW we had a bit of an argument...
Does this mean that ONLY the Seekers can fire at 2 different targets (Target Lock), or the Markerlights as well? Or do both markerlights have to shoot the same target (unit, or vehicle in this case)?
(BTW:A quick response to this would be greatly appreciated, as we just decided to give the Tau player the advantage (he is losing), but we would like to know before they have to leave.)

Markerlights can target separate units. Don't see why you think they couldn't.

OKay, so 2 Markerlights CAN fire at 2 different units?
Because, part of the arguement was the wording of it:
"...seeker missiles, two networked markerlights (these are counted as defensive weapons) and a target lock (meaning it can launch it's own missiles, potentially at two different targets per shooting phase)."
That LAST set of brackets says about the target lock, but nothing about the lock effecting markerlights.

Target Lock: the targe lock ..fluff....fluff...each wep on the vehicle may fire at septerate enemy units if desired.

The only way you can fire seekers is with markerlights, so if you want to have the skyray shoot at two different targets, it would logically follow that it has to target its markerlight at two different targets.

Oh yeah, I guess I didn't think of that, obviously I didn't read my friends' codex enough there, but thanks for the clarifications
