I think what I was getting at is quite a simple concept overall LordEntrails.
There doesn't seem to be any mechanical reason to attack the main body of a ship.
Additionally, it would seem like it would be harder to target most of the components than it would to target the main body (with the exception of unfurled sails) - But this is not the case based on most of the components Armor Class compared to the AC of the main body.
In my games, I will likely say that targeting a component other than the body (with the exception of the unfurled sails) is at Disadvantage. Of course, this can be countered by the Officer "Take Aim" action in the book.
