Uh, I'm not sure what you're getting at. Damage goes like this:

Shields. All shield points must be down before the Armor is hit. Not directional.
Armor. All armor points must be gone before the Outer Hull is hit. Not directional.
Outer hull. All hull points must be gone before the Inner Hull is hit. Directional.
Inner hull. Directional.

It doesn't matter if all the slots are Outer Hull, because the damage is still directional. The damage isn't leaky in the SE4 sense, but losing all the 'internal armor' on the left side means another hit there will cause damage to the left-hand components, while a hit on the RIGHT side will still hit the undamaged armor there.
