Question about sub-targeting modules in combat

[Dan Diplo]

Can anyone help clarify a few things for me?

* Is targeting your opponent's power plant still the way to go? Or does it depend on type of ship or whether PvP or PvE? Is there any general guidance?

* Is there any disadvantage in targeting specific modules? If I miss and still hit the ship presumably it does as much damage as if I wasn't targeting a module?

Targeting Power Plant is still effective, but lately, for PvE I've been targeting the FSD to prevent the target from jumping out so I can get the kill.

To be honest when I`m fighting big opponents I always go for power plant, its still fastest way to making enemies go boom.
