I will be more sensitive next time, sorry about that.
I was actually asking a serious question. I wasn't offended or anything.

But what about the Damage Percent ? Should it be it 70 or 100 ?
Damage Percent is multiplied against the damage done to the armor component (IIRC after the Penetration Percent is removed). Setting it to 0 means no damage at all is done. Setting it to 70 means 30% of the damage will be dropped (in addition to the 30% that passes on to the next component). You should probably set it to 100.

I have various different things, but in fact NEVER was damaage spread to the internals without the armor being first 100% destroyed.
As stated previously, damage has to go through every armor component, in the order they were added to the ship, before anything gets to the internals. If you have 10 armor components, a 30% penetration percent will not get all the way through. Assuming Damage Percent is set to 100, Armor 1 will take 70% of the hit's damage. Armor 2 will take 21% of the hit's damage. Armor 3 will take 6.3% of the damage, and so on.

If you want really leaky armor, try setting the penetration to a high value, like 90.
