Yeah, I haven't quite figured that one out, which is why I am saying it should work, but not that it will work.

One solution is to take all the different engines you will be making and make armored-Versions of them instead of making an engine-armor component. They are the same except they have a higher damage rating. They are available if you have researched the required propulsion tech for the regular engine, plus some level in Armor. Perhaps you could make varying Versions of each armored-engine. The tradeoff could be more armor for less supply for example. It would lead to *alot* of different engines for people to pick from though.
