That would be great, but would require a bunch of hardcode changes.

I would love it.

You should have all components & generator abilities with a type of "armor", to make the weapon damage %'s simpler.

Ie.
Damage type := Bullet
armor type 1 := flesh
armor effect 1 := 100%
armor type 2 := kevlar
armor effect 2 := 30%
armor type 3 := unphased energy shield
armor effect 3 := 1%

We could add all sorts of cool stuff, like "disruption shields" which only block seekers & torpedoes & rammings, but are penetrated by all beam weapons.

You could make a crazy component that is skipped by all weapons, so it is _always_ the Last component on your ship to be destroyed.
