I think a simple fix could be:
Super Amazing Really Really Good Targeting Computer
Modification
After you declare an attack using a [Torpedo] or a [Missile] secondary weapon, before rolling attack dice you may immediately perform a free Target Lock or Focus action.
The point being you have to get your prerequisite token before you can declare the attack, and it's then spent, so the effort to set up the shot is still there, but then you get another token which you can use in this attack or keep for later. Unlike some similar ideas, this one doesn't take Homing Missile's advantage away.
You could potentially make it "before modifying attack dice", but in that case it would need a substantial cost as it'd be quite kick-arse.
