PHost only!

This option controls how beam weapons are used to fire on enemy fighters. With this option off, a beam weapon will fire on the nearest fighter, no matter in what direction it moves (like HOST). With this option on, a beam weapon will first try to fire on the nearest attacking fighter (i.e., coming towards the defending ship). Only if there are no attacking fighters will a beam weapon fire on an enemy fighter that is returning to the enemy ship or planet (and is thus less harmful than an attacking fighter).
