does a component need a size greater then 0 to be hit?

In the Star Trek Mod, Structural Integrity Fields have 0kt structure, but they also have the "hit before other components" attribute. They therefore do take damage.

For clarification, that is not the reason they take damage, it's the fact that have a certain amount of kT structure. Even if they had the armor ability, a 0kT structure would still make the component invulnerable.

Don't you mean they have 0kT size, not 0kT structure?

I think that is what he meant. Anyways, the original idea behind them was to provide a first hit option that could protect against a hit or two before the hull was damaged since the mod employed both leaky armor and shields.
