There is no damage type that matches how ion cannons are supposed to work.
That was the better way to simulate Ion cannons when we first introduced them.
Give bridges and life support a small boarding defense ability so they are targeted by an only ss damage type. When those components are destroyed the ship is supposed to be 'disabled' but with minimun damage.
Now with some changes in the hardcoded rules of the game, perhaps the boarding defense ability should be moved to the supply holding components (that is reactors, SE4 engines, sup. storage)
