No, the ship just follows the "acquire a target lock" sequence on the Actions page, sans the Action part.

I'm actually not convinced that even thread tracers bypass the range issue, since they don't explicitly let the friendly ships ignore the range 1-3 requirement. If it said "even if they are out of range", or if it passed an already acquired lock token to them, then that would be different. Someone may be able to correct me on how this is usually ruled by TOs.
