Note that this will reset the ships to their default behaviour which may be a combat command that could have them engage the originally chosen target again. To mitigate this it can be useful to then give all ships a "Fly and Wait" command to physically draw them away from the engagement.

33 +When ordering a ship to attack a capital ship or station there is an option in the right-click context menu to instead choose one of the following surface element options to be attacked rather than the entire ship or station:
34 +
35 +* All surface elements, the ship will attack any and all of its target's surface elements with no preference for any type
36 +* Turrets, the ship will only attack turrets
37 +* Shield Generators, the ship will only attack shield generators
38 +* Engines (provided the target is a capital ship), the ship will only attack the target's engines.
39 +
40 +It is worth noting that this instruction isn't perfectly reliable and while the player may simply intend to disable a target it is still perfectly possible for ships to miss the surface elements and cause damage to the target or even destroy it.
