Anyone know how to disable/fix the pathetic auto-targeting?
ie I select an enemy and go after it, when another enemy comes close it automatically targets that ship....what the?! I don't want it to do that I didn't ask for it to do that. Whatever I targeted should stay targeted until I choose otherwise.
This is the same when targeting components on a ship, say the engines, I target it take a shot or two then it untargets it.
This is so annoying having to reselect targets constantly.
Is there a way to disable this or is there a fix to this?

I never noticed targets switching, only acquiring a new target if somebody takes a shot at me when I don't have one. The loss of component targetting when hit is annoying, though, but it only seems to happen the first time you're hit after selecting that target (and it might have to be by ANOTHER ship).

If you target an enemy but havent Hit that enemy yet sometimes the target will switch when you get hit or you hit something else..
What annoys me most is when I have a SUB SYSTEM targeted and have already been shooting the enemy, and suddenly that sub system is no longer selected. I cant figure out why this is happening though but its quite frustrating at times.

I've noticed this way back when JTL first came out. I attributed it to losing the lock on the system due to taking fire from another ship. Never thought it was a bug. Could be though.
