I mean with T3 ships the way they were designed, this sort of focused damage adds a lot more depth to the game; a lot more shades of grey! That's a great idea, that can't really be argued against!

I'd forgotten about that option before. It was definitely a good one. I used to love TIE fighter. I'd forgotten about that option before. It was definitely a good one.

I keep on getting flashes back from old space combat sims (cant remember exactly which one it was, though for some reason 'warp to light speed' in SWG comes to mind, or maybe TIE fighter) where you could target specific areas of the ship, the usual tactic was to disable their engines and then just leave opponents drifting in space.

Maybe temporary changes, like until the ship got the issue under control again or something...

The only thing is, it might be difficult to specify this in the middle of a massive firefight.

More targeting options, especially on larger ships! Hear hear, good idea! More targeting options, especially on larger ships!
