With these internals, how much more often are you thinking that they get hit. That doesn't seem to jive with what I see. It appears for all intents and purposes to be completely random to me. I suppose if it just a small difference in chance it's possible I would not see it. An internal armor would offer some resistance as cannon fodder soaking up the damage that would otherwise go to usefull components. If the cost was low enough, or the tonnage to structure ratio were high enough I could see a lot of use in having these comps on your ship. But do they really get hit any more often than other comps? Have you done some real analysis to determine this?
