I've read in one of the old strategy guides for the game, an instruction to get your wingman to disable your target, which I'm assuming involves holding Shift and then a letter (for example - Shift and 'A' corresponds to "Attack my target"). However I can't work out the corresponding key combination for "Disable my target" and, to be honest, in all the years I've been playing XWA, I've never come across a "Disable my target" command.

Does this actually exist?

I’m pretty sure you have to use the wingman command menu for that. Press Tab to display it on the HUD.

See page 13 of this PDF manual.

Ahhh! Of course! I'd totally forgotten about that sub menu. The command is there indeed! Thank you!

If you're in a craft with ion cannons, so do your wingmen, and will disable your target with the "Attack my target" order as long as it's required as the mission objective. If another flight group has to do it, target the craft in that flight group and give them the "Go ahead" order.
