does a component need a size greater then 0 to be hit?
does a component need a size greater then 0 to be hit?
just need a yes or no answer. i already know that it picks the component to be hit based on damage resistance, but does it need to have a >0 size to be on the list?

No, as long as it has at least 1kT of structure it will be good. |

so, if it's 0 it won't get hit?

Re: does a component need a size greater then 0 to be hit?
Why is the subject labelled "(OT)"??? This is definitely on-topic.
The point is that there are two different values: size, and structure. There is also what some might call a "logic error" in that structure, not size, determines not only a component's resistance to damage, but also it's chance to be hit. If structure is zero, it'll never be hit, and the unit will be indestructible. Size has no effect at all except during design.

Re: does a component need a size greater then 0 to be hit?
lol. i guess i got so used to creating off-topics...
so, if i give something a size of zero it'll: still be hit.
and i thought of this: if it's at zero health and the answer to the above is no, will the ship still be destroyed, or does that create an invulnerable ship?

Size is never used in any hit chances or damage calculations. Only structure is.
