Actually, they do need to be fairly high. They need to have at least twice as many hit points as the average "internal" components to start having any noticeable effect. Leaky armor works best when they have a lot more hit points than internals. They still leak a lot of damage through, but if they have about as many hit points as internals, they will do very little.

Understood; however, AIC will have the usual Components with Armor and Emissive abilities (PvK Armories). This newly added Structural support component will have (no abilities) and should offset (somewhat) at a random basis from an attack.

I may not understand.
With a high Structure; would this not absorb this blow fully?

An example: Although I will equal the new Armor Brace component (structure values) to that of AIC critical Components for an assumed randomness, please refer to reference below and what are the Players thoughts?
