Until SJ makes Carrier Battles for SEV, and you need to add a bajillion armor components.)
Luckily, this will not be necessary at all. Components store individual damage, and you can make real leakiness with custom damage types. Damage is directional, not totally random as in SE4. There isn't much need for having 100 1kt armor comps in SE5.
Currently I'm starting with up to 5 layers of 50% absorption armor.

Of course, I do plan to eventually use an intermediate system of modest amounts of inert components as armor...

That way you can choose to surround certain critical components like your drive reactors with armor, focus on certain directions or spread the protection around.
