A ship firing at a target from just within its extreme weapons range, using sensor data handed off to it by a closer ship, will still face the same problems of attenuation of its weapons fire. The situation where this ability would help would be in game using sensors and electronic warfare, ships able to 'see' a target can pass the targeting data on to other ships (who for whatever reason can't 'see' the target) who then use this information to generate their own fire control solution. But sensors and EW are an optional extra and in the average game of Full Thrust every ship on the table has an 'automatic' fire control solution on every other ship.
