P&N Combat Results RE: HB components.
I was simming a battle with P&N V1.5p.
With one BlackHole Class Combat Fortress (which has 6120 hitpoints in Hardened bulkheads (92% absorption)), going up against Phong DNs.
As expected, the shields held out long enough for me to take down one DN, and I disabled a second before my shield grid was destroyed.
Now I started taking internal damage. two HEMs slam me, but the HBs worked great, blocking most of the damage, and all I really lost was a single engine. Now I was slower than the enemy, but with good ranged weapons, I could still reach out and touch someone. Another Phong DN went down, and I took 1500 damage, losing only a PDC and one Polaron Cannon. I'd managed to rip apart most of the shields on the Last DN, but then they got a lucky hit, and my Talisman was destroyed. 5% chance to hit at range 4, and the enemy would not let me get that close. I spent 12 more combat turns absorbing bLast after bLast, but then combat ended. I had taken 6500 out of 8000 damage, and would have been stuck in spacedock for around 2 years 
The moral of this story: on a $100,000 dreadnaught, put a backup talisman on!
Also, the 50kT combination of MC, bridge, LS, CQ, helps a lot. You can lose any one of the components, and not lose your ship.

Re: P&N Combat Results RE: HB components.
Yes, the larger the capital ship, the greater the need to ensure its "survivability" for the long term. So redundant C&C is very helpful. I do this with my BB and larger hulls. Also, an extra crew does help against boarding parties!

Re: P&N Combat Results RE: HB components.
s_j, what mod are you using?
Edit:
Never mind, I figured it out.

By HB, do you mean Hyperionbase?

No, he's talking about the Hardened Bulkheads component that he's modded.
