Organic Armor used to build up a pool of regenerative points as soon as combat started. Now, they only start generating regenerative points after an organic armor component is destroyed. Say you have 2 OA comps that have 150 HP and 15 regeneration. Then one is destroyed. It will take 10 combat turns to generate 150 regenerative points and repair that destroyed OA. However, the display of the ship does not update to reflect the repaired component until the ship is hit by an enemy again. Until it is hit by an enemy, the damage points remain and the component still appears destroyed. This display bug is often a source of confusion.
Additionally, you must have a functional component with the OA ability to get any components to regenerate. One organic armor is useless, and OA can not regenerate if all OA components are destroyed.

Yes, that's the way I understand it. For example, if a ship had 11 OA on it, and during a combat round, 1 was destroyed, it's my understanding that 10 OA's would completely regenerate the one that was destoryed in the next combat round. Assuming that is correct, the OA regenerative ability fails in actual play due to the fact that multiple ships in the combat arena will continue pulverizing the damaged ship till it is either destroyed or all armor is gone (or reduced to the point that regeneration is nearly useless).
And to the other point, as I said, once a component of OA is destroyed, it will never be repaired after battle unless there is some sort of repair component available (SY or Repair bay).
