If I am facing a group of rebels, Biggs etc, and I want to target lock, can I target lock anyone, as it is not technically attacking?
If I can target lock others, can I use that target lock, in order to avoid having to shoot Biggs, or does the biggs text override target locks on other people. because technically if I want to shoot missiles, I can only do so on target locks, so if a target lock is on another ship, technically I can't shoot biggs with it, so the text is redundant?
1) yes you can target lock anyone in range, not just Biggs.
2) no, you cannot avoid targeting Biggs to attack a ship within range 1 of him, even if you have a secondary weapon. When attacking you declare your target first, then choose which weapon to use. You cannot target another ship within range 1 of Biggs, even if you have a TL on a different ship.

Ha! No one has asked me that in a long long time - I'll just say the right side 
The FAQ clarifies this nicely, page 6, right hand side. Here's the link: (.pdf download)

Target locks are up to you, unless you're facing Captain Kagi...
