I don't care what your friends say, I care about the text on the card.

This sentence can only be true if a ship has an upgrade with the  ' ATTACK (TARGET LOCK): ' header.

"When a friendly ship at  Range  1-2 is attacking a ship you have locked, the friendly ship treats the ' ATTACK (TARGET LOCK): ' header as ' ATTACK: ' "

This sentence can only be true, if the above is true, since it refers to 'that' ship which just took advantage of the first sentence.

"If a game effect instructs that ship to spend a  target lock, it may spend your target lock instead."

Since you can't trigger the first without the  ' ATTACK (TARGET LOCK): ' header, you can't trigger the second.

You can play however you like casually with your friends, but my TO buddy will probably rule it this way at tournaments and so will other TO's, myself included.
