When I destroyed the reactor the gunboat continued to still pummell my ship for a good 40 seconds until I got destroyed ,is this intended or is this a bug because when our reactors get blown up our capacitors drain down to 0 and our engines shut down and we cant shoot or anything.

No idea whether it's intentional, but that's been my experience as well. I aim for the guns first because of it, they drop pretty fast and at that point it's no longer a worry.

Ships that have turrets will still be able to fire until the capacitor runs out of energy.

Yea, destroying the reactor only disables the ability to regenerate power. It still has a good supply left so I'd reccomend hit and RUN.!

Depends on the gunboat.
Rebel gunboats are cake generally cake. Just fly under and behind them and take out their engine. Once the engines down their not going anywhere, so maintain position and fire away.
Now Imperial gunboats im frankly very hazy about. I havent been a rebel pilot in a very long time, but for some reason turret 3 sticks out in my mind, i think thats the rear turret, im probably mistaken.

Imperial Gunboats: get slightly below and behind them at 560m, target weapon 2 (rear turret), blow it up. Target reactor and blow it. 1dead gunboat.

This was pointed out in the beta, sometimes when you destroy the reactor on fighters they carry on flying round and attacking you when they shouldnt be able to do anything.

I have never seen a gunboat ever stop shooting after its reactor has been taken out. It's the same with Aggressors. I just knock out the engines or weapon 1 and go from there.
