So, the basic effect is there is a big battering ram of nothingness, and even a mass as dense as a black hole can't stop it. To make the Null-Space damage more "realistic", it would take a percentage damage off everything. eg. A ship has a damage resistance of 1500kT, plus 200kT armour, and 1000 shields; a Null-Space rated at 5% would take off 50 shields, 10kT armour, 75kT damage resistance. All the energy and mass are just pushed away, because nothing can go in Null-Space. That was probably confusing, but oh well.
Actually it made a lot of sense to me, and I finally understood what the null-space weapons were (not that I had given it that much thought before) ... Actually in the anime "Lost Universe" there is a weapon which reminds me of this effect (other that instead of nothingness, it kind of leads to a dimension of nothingness. It was called a D-brave gun if I remember correctly (not that it matters), and it looked real cool shooting small spheres that hit the ship and grew to large spheres of nothingness, then dissapearing, the part of the ship where they were, also gone.

I thought null-space weapons were cool in SE4 from before, no I think they are even cooler
