I could have sworn someone said damage would be done to the side of the ship that was hit (ie facings). Oh well, if that's not the case, I'm just as glad.
I thought the damage was directional...which mean any armor on that side would be damaged first...or we could hope...Shields might be a different matter
Hybrid systems are always confusing. No firing arcs, no shield/armor arcs. But directional damage.

Damage to components is directional. Or supposed to be. Damage to shields and armor is not. Yes, armor 'components' are placed on the ship like other components but they all get destroyed before any of the inner components are damaged. Or that's how it's supposed to work.
