Pythons modules targeting found useless.
Against Condas sometimes using targeting power, its helpful to pacify them.
Others going like collateral damage without differenciation to modules.

Thanks. I've read some pretty impassioned arguments on the boards over at Steam & Frontier for targeting specific modules but like you, I don't see that it makes a huge difference, and of course, anything in the small ship range can be wasted in less time than it takes to target a system.

The only time I every both to target systems is when I am facing a clipper, python, or Anaconda. I will target drives, or more likely power generators in the thought that I will be able to remove their capacity to fight/flee. The only other occasion it is useful for is breaking cargo hatches/drives if you are playing pirate. All other scenarios, it's a waste of time to module-target; your target's hull is typically gone by the time you finish breaking a module.
Of course, your weapons systems play a huge role in how effective it is against modules. Armor penetrating weapons like a cannon will have a greater effect versus other types. I'll typically see myself breaking the power generator by the time hull has dropped to 40-50%
