Sensor dampening reduces the targetting range of the ship you hit with it, meaning the ships have to get closer in order to target your guys. It doesn't break existing targetting locks, nor does it change how far their weapons can shoot once they have something targetted. The counter to sensor dampening is signal booster modules (under electronics and sensor upgrades). The reason why it's effective is that many ships (snipers especially) sit at their optimals, which are reached usually with the assistance of a signal booster already. Here's an example of how it works:

Wait, wait. Sensor dampeners don't break existing targeting locks? I'm pretty sure that's BS.
How would it be good, then? That sniper boat surely targeted everything he needed to target as soon as the engagement started, and if the damper doesn't break that lock at 100km he's still going to be able to pop it.
