Yes, PVK, I agree. I've often felt that the weapon/armor interaction is such a fundamental one that, like weapon components with all their extra fields, an 'armor component' should also, by its nature, require a group of additional fields. Your suggested fields probobly about cover it.

Hmm, how did we get on armor, when Baron M. started a thread on beams and torps, lol.
Sorry Baron.
