Thanks much!
Not sure what you're trying to do here...
If you want your weapons to stop shooting, just touch the spinning modules again. (Then pick a new target, lock if necessary, and activate the module again.)
If you want to change to a new target, remember to stop the modules first if it is active by touching the spinning module. Then use the bottom right select-target icon to pick a new target. It will cycle through the targets in the Contacts. Or you can touch the ship icon on the Contacts to pick it directly. Then hit the lock button to start locking it. Once the lock icon changes from yellow to red, it means that the target is locked.
Remember that your weapons will shoot at the current target when you engage that weapon. The current target is identified by the outline over the ship icon in the Contacts.
Note that you can lock a ship even if it is not selected. Just touch the green lock icon next to that ship.
So short-hand:
to use a module: select a target, lock if necessary, tap module to start (it spins)
to stop using a module: tap the module (it stops spinning)
to change targets: tap the ship icon directly or use the change-selection at the bottom right. Note that changing target selection does not affect modules that are already active.
to lock any ship: tap the green lock icon next to the ship icon
to lock the currently selected ship: tap the big lock icon at the bottom right
