Life supports aren't in atm. They will be available when we have smoother flight and targeting in the game. But right now you can manually shoot an engine, powerplant, thrusters and wings off in AC. Use manual aiming when you are close to an enemy ship. Do focused damage on a certain area. It works and manual targeting is way more fun especially when you are close range.
erm it's practically impossible to single out a single subsystem when both ships are in motion.
Unless one is sitting still, moving predictably (in a straight line) for quite some time AND, on both occurrences, you're VERY close to them.
It's practically impossible to hit the subsystem you want, they're simply too small.

Was impressed by this dudes video (he shoots reactors and important systems).

You're joking right?
The guy has slowed down some of his dogfights, the ones that show him shooting the center of mass of his target.
Some of his shots which are further away, you can't even see the ship because of the huge indicators, do you really expect me to believe that he's targeting a certain subsystem? The crosshair graphic is larger than the size of the ship he's shooting!
Look at this:
You expect me to believe he's targeting a subsystem?
On some of his close up shots he can't even hit the target consistently, probably due to shady controls.
He mentioned leading your target and pointing at the targets nose?... surely that depends on your latency and the speed of your target?...jezus christ
I'm not even sure he's using manual targeting on some of his shots there.
He even calls this video "Combat Flight School Advanced Techniques"
Unless there's something there which I'm missing, this is absolute rubbish.
