Or is it that they only do so for PP damage?
I was positive NPCs were rebooting themselves to fix damaged modules, but a few recent encounters suggest this is no longer the case. I dismissed a few examples as being too low rank, but just yesterday I was exploring and came across an Elite NPC T-7, so I decided to practice my dumbfire aim. After I had shot out it's drives it never made an attempt to fix them; even after it's hull had fallen to the point it retracted hardpoints and seemed to want to escape, it did not reboot/repair to try to get it's thrusters back.

I'll do some more testing myself when I'm able, but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed a change in this behavior, or if I'm grossly misremembering something.
