Not just for SYs, for all components. Say, a 10kT Bridge. A weapon hits the bridge with damage 5. The Bridge component is still there, but it does not have the Bridge ability any more and as such the ship will resort to using an Auxiliary Control or will lose its movement.

Or, a component with double Crew Quarters ability and one Life Support ability - one component - and that it loses one Crew Quarters ability when it is damaged slightly. Also, you should be able to mod components to actually lose efficiency when damaged or that it does not lose efficiency or does not get damaged at all.

Plus, besides the combat gimmick of damaging all comps on an enemy ship without destroying a single one, thus capturing a ship essentially intact, it adds great roleplay elements IMO.



DS, I fully concur with what you say, though I believe that with the moddable hull definitions you could create jump-capable satellites and non-jump-capable courier ships. JOY!

I really hope we will be able to mod vehicle types in SEV.....
