You can build on and try it. When you see the ability "Damages only ..." It means it damages
ONLY that component and ignores any armor or shields. Applies to engine damaging and weapon damaging weapons, as well as others if there are any. Armor and shield skipping weapons on the other hand skip the armor or shields and then can damage any component.
Devnull mod has a "Tachyeon grid" which acts as armor against the weapon damaging weapons by giving an armor component weapon ability with no damage. Since it's a weapon it gets hit by the tacheyon cannon, and since it's armor it gets hit first, sparing the other weapons.
