I recommend a new approach to 'internal armor' once the new patch comes out. Use a special mount to create large blocks of armor suitable to the ship size and the mounts it can use. Since the components' 'damage' size seems to determine how likely they are to be hit, if you make a mount to enlarge armor to be about the same size/damage as the weapons that class if ship is capabale of using you will create a truly effective damage 'decoy'.
