"realistic" ship design.
This is an idea for modders:
It does not sound right that armor protects solar sails and solar batteries - they are mean do be outside the hull and in fact can be or even should be bigger in size than the ship herself.
So, why not add "armor" ability to such components with some tiny number. Then they will be destroyed before any damage can be done to the "inside" components that are supposedly protected by ship armor. The same can be done to mod externally mount weapons, external fuel cells, etc.
I have no idea though how to make solar sails not to be protected by ship shields.
