Thanks

Tonnage Space has nothing to do with the chance of a comp being damaged. Structure is everything. Components have a percent chance to be selected to be hit, based on the percent of total tonnage of all comps on the ship which that component owns. For non-armor components, components with more hit points are biased to be picked more often by the algorithms that determine what gets hit. For armor components, those with fewer hit points are biased to be hit more often.
