Component order

[sapperland]

I wish the damage was done in order from left to right. That would open up a lot of design options for players. Like using engines to suck damage while weapons are hit Last or saving engines for the get away...oh wait, thats right, you can't run away when you hit the wall. And where would you put life support and crew quarters? Does anyone know what effect losing life support or crew quarters has on ships in battle or on ship operation after a battle?
