Why do you have to stack this card? There is no "once per round" restriction. It simply says that you change a blank to a hit by spending a focus token. So if you have two focus tokens with Recon Specialist, why can't you turn two blanks to two hits?

FAQ states: "Q: Can a ship perform the same upgrade card action or Damage card action more than once per round? A: No. Having more than one copy of the same card that requires an action to trigger its ability does not allow you to perform that action more than once per round." By my read, however, I would say that using Weapons Guidance is not an action, so I don't think that FAQ applies here.

FAQ also states: "Q: If a ship has more than one copy of the same card that does not require an action to trigger its ability, can it trigger all of those card abilities? A: Yes. For example, when a ship equipped with two Mercenary Copilots is attacking, it can change two [hit] results to two [critical hit] results." So to me this means if you have two Weapons Guidance cards and two focus tokens, then you can change two blanks to two hits. The only potentially gray zone is whether or not you could turn two blanks to two hits with two focus tokens using only one copy of Weapons Guidance. I agree with Dragoon that this would be a "special" or "non-normal" use of a focus token.

Feel free to disagree. This is an interesting question, and I couldn't find anything in the rules other than what I quoted above (albeit in an admittedly inexhaustive search) to give us more guidance.
