Can a Defender equipped with the Tie/D title card attack multiple targets? I'm thinking it can, but I couldn't find a specific reference that explicitly spelled it out for me.
Tie Defender with Tie/D Title & Multiple Targets
The title says you may perform a primary attack after your cannon attack, which includes selecting a target to become the defender in that attack. While the FAQ calls out "perform this attack twice" weapons as skipping the step to select a weapon and target (forcing you to use it a second time and on the same target), the TIE/D title has no such distinction and I believe you would be correct to be able to choose any available target. You would still be locked into your primary weapon however. That is how I have usually seen it played and it makes sense from my perspective, but the safe bet is always ask either your opponent or anyone friendly at your store for confirmation
It’s the same as the BTL A4 title, or Corran’s double tap, or gunner/Luke, they can choose a new target if they wish.
As the others have said, you are free to pick another target. This feature is one of the reasons I love the TIE/D title.

You have two TIE/D with the same PS. Can you attack with the secondary weapon of both TIE/Ds first, and then the primary weapons of both TIE/Ds second?
There's no immediate distinction, it just says once per round, you may perform a primary weapon attack after the secondary.
No. Each ship must activate fully before the next ship can begin its activation..

Yup, this is covered in the timing chart in step 9. If a defense doesn’t fire it’s primary after it’s cannon and another ship performs an attack then the defender misses that opportunity.

As others have said, the text "after you perform an attack" on TIE/D triggers in Step 9 of the Attack Timing Chart. At that point you "may" make a primary attack. If you choose not to, the opportunity is gone.
