Uh, I'm not sure what you're getting at. Damage goes like this:

Who me or Kana? Mine was a suggestion for an improved system we would need to ask Aaron for.

Kana.

Do you think my suggestion holds any merit? Maybe asking for directional damage isn't enough. I wonder how hard it would be to ask for directional layered damage? You know what I mean? Blow out the right side shields damage goes to: right side armor --> right side outer --> internal -->left side outer --> left side armor --> left side shields. I suppose once you blow out the internals the rest becomes almost pointless.

What would be the point of having a separate "internal" slot in that case? It'd act the same as an outer slot.

Yes it would for all intents and purposes. I was thinking in terms of modders and players. For us modders it would allow us to guide players into where to place the more critical components. For new players it would help them from making a huge and silly mistake. I tried this same approach in the SFTC but at the time I wasn't fully focused on what I was doing. In other words I did it by mistake but it should be made a standard to help the learning curve in building ships. Just my two cents.
