Armor & Shields On Units...

Some correction on the "queue thing" AFAIR. Damage is always check against the unit with the least hitpoints first. Either this unit is destroyed (in this case the procedure starts anew with the remaining damage) or no unit is destroyed and the damage stored for the next hit. I.e. there is no use to build a shield WP to protect other unshielded units. It won't protect WPs with lesser hitpoints, it will just be the WP destroyed Last.

Wasn't this changed to be more random in a recent patch?

3. If Weapons Platforms have 100% functionality when damaged and if a Weapons Platform has Armor and/or Shields can it ever be fully destroyed by Null-Space Weapons or Phased Polaron Beams?

Note that armor skipping weapons fired at ships will damage armor components normally once all internal components are destroyed. You can completely destroy a ship/unit with Shard Cannons and Null Space Projectors. This differs from "Only X" type damage, such as from Shield Disruptors. If there are no valid components to damage (ie: no shield generating components), such a weapon does no damage. Armor skipping damage types ignore this rule.
