Besides, even if u could target ships carrying specific components, I could fool the strategy by putting one PD cannon (for example) on every ship; which isn't a bad idea anyway, just in case the ai kills off my specialty ship..

Except that's not really fooling the strategy. If the idea is knock out all the PDC, the ships would target the ships with PDC until the PDC were destroyed and then move on to the next ship. Imagine a planet with missles on WP's, and fighters that are targeting just ships with PDC. If you can knock out all the PDC, even if your fighters get chewed up, the attacker would be wiped out trying to attack the planet with no PDC left to protect his fleet. Of course unless you had a weapon that targeted only PDC, which isnt' an option now either, putting PDC on every ship would make the strategy less effective. So I guess it's fooling it somewhat.
