I was just wondering if there was a way to increase your maximum lock range and the amount of targets you can lock on at once or is it all based on the ship your flying.

Its based on the ship but there are modules and skills increasing these stats. Assuming your Targeting/Multitasking skill is high enough, you're able to use Auto-Targeting modules to increase the amount of targets your ship might lock (even while keeping it offline). As for targeting range there are different possibilities, e.g. Sensor Booster.

Basic skill for more targeting range is "Long Range Targeting".

For target amount, check your ships stats to see how many targets it can lock at once ("Max Locked Targets" in ship info). If you can't lock that many, then train Targeting or Multitasking. (These won't allow you to target more than what your ship can handle.)

Apart from the skills already mentioned, you can fit one of these: http://eve.wikia.com/wiki/Signal_Amplifier_II

The Auto targeting system II will increase your locked targets cap on the ship hull by 3, the T1 version by 2.

There are a few ships where you'll have a utility high slot with no better purpose, but not many. The T1 variant has 1CPU/1PW for a fitting requirement, so will fit on those ultra tight fits.

Number of locked targets.

Skills: Targeting/Multitasking can increase max targets up to 12, but not beyond the maximum allowed for the ship.
Modules: Signal Amplifier/Auto Targeting System - adds to max number allowed for your ship, but not beyond the skill that you are trained for.



Targetting Range.

Skills: Long Range Targeting/Leadership:Information Warfare (fleet only)
Modules: Sensor Booster
