Jeff really did get that $300 lifetime subscription and I like his rationale for it.

You can have any weapon auto fire by right clicking it but you can only auto fire one weapon per facing either fore or aft. Also you don't need to click anything to target if you don't want to, just hit spacebar or a specific weapon key and it will autotarget the closest enemy target that's currently on screen and in range. In the latest patch they also added fuctionality to the scan button so that it will point to the direction of the closest anomoly which is really helpful. 
 
Also, for ground combat, if the enemy gets exposed then just one shot from an exploit will kill them so I find it helpful to give 3 of the 5 away team expose type weapons and exploit myself when the targets are exposed. You can tell the target is exposed by the ui marker that appears on them and they stumble around.
