Do you know exactly how a component gets targeted...
Well, with identical components, its random.
Internals only:
As for it choosing the weakest, NO.
As for it choosing by mass, NO.
When I simmed a battle using the HBs, I had a "Bertha ++++"
class ship.
The first hull hit destroyed 4 HBs.
The second hit took out 2 Shield Regen, and 1 HBs
The third hit took out an engine or two and some HBs
The fourth hit took out 2 more Shield Regen, and more HBs.
Then the enemy was dead.
I'd have to do some tests for armor damage. There could even be a difference between combat and natural (or mine) damage.
