The Tachyon Projectors should tend to destroy PDCs Last, as components with more hit points tend to be destroyed first. Kiloton size is irrelevant when determining which component takes a hit, only structure (hit points) matter. Also, note that any extra damage from the Tachyon Projector is not saved. Each shot either destroys a whole component (or more), or does nothing. This is the same with all special damage weapons that damage only a specific component type (except for Ionic Dispersers damaging shields, but that is a special case).

Armor components, however, seem to be backwards, in that armor components with fewer hit points tend to be destroyed before components with more hit points. This is why stock Emissive Armor can work, as it has 10 more hit points than regular armor components. It usually gets destroyed after a lot of the Armor components get destroyed. Using it with Crystalline or Organic Armor, however, does not work out too well, as it is usually destroyed first in that case.
