Summary	0009327: champion weapon modules do not inherit ship orders for targeting.
Description	i have noticed that when i tell my champ to attack something his main weapon does but if there are any other ships nearby the modules prefer to target those instead of the declared target. This might bee intentional and it isnt always bad since the weapon loadout can have very different hull bonuses. but it would be nice if it was clearer that this would happen or if it is unintentional. i will note in most cases it does help maximize damage alot especially in nebulae. but it is worth adding to tooltip that modules will target independently.

Internal Weight	Fix Before Major Release

MaxAstro Aug 23, 2012 12:32 am reporter ~0027904	I would also strongly support adding a "tell modules to attack this target too" modifier (i.e. is you hold "m" or something weird and right click an enemy then all the selected ships' modules attack that target as well). The main reason is wormhole guard posts and other high health, non-autotargeted ships, but there are several other cases where I find myself wanting "all power to forward batteries" as it were.
