I can't see anything to stop me doing this but it seems a bit too good to be true.

Can I put biohexacrypt codes on an upsilon shuttle, target lock a friendly ship and then next turn coordinate at beyond range 3 by spending the target lock?

I know it's legal to target lock your own ship so that's not my query. It's more the spending of the target lock allowing me to coordinate at any range, literally from the opposite side of the board, that looks a bit OP for one point. Nevertheless I can't find any range restriction on spending a target lock and the biohexacrypt card clearly says to ignore range restrictions on coordinate and jam. Am I missing something?

You’re not missing anything, thats exactly how the card functions.

For clarity, it's legal to lock any other object within range. Objects include obstacles, devices, and ships, both friendly and enemy. So, you can always lock a friendly ship. HOWEVER, a ship cannot lock itself for any reason (otherwise, M9-G8 would be like having a permanent 1st Edition Predator).

Thanks for the feedback guys.
