Thanks for the hard work and great mod.
Thanks SunDevil!

The reason is that each point is worth 4 marines. There are no components with smaller-grained strengths, so it wasn't necessary to have the actual unseen value set to 20.

However, it may be somewhat inaccurate, in that I later learned Crew Quarters inherently (hard-coded in SE4) give a defense value of [I forget what exactly... 1, 5, something]... so actually Props crew quarters are probably stronger than listed. That'd be something to figure out and fix, I suppose. Although, boarding combat is so oversimplified in SE4 that it might not be so bad to have a hidden factor involved.
