component damage

[capnq]

The first time I sent a scout ship through an unstable warp point, my Escort came out the other end with everything but the auxiliary bridge destroyed. I've seen larger ships lose half their components.

The amount of damage a component can take appears to be the Tonnage Structure entry in Components.txt

Thank you. Now, next question, can you tell how much damage a component has actually taken?

[geoschmo]

Anytime a component takes damage, either in combat, by mines, or natural means, if it takes damage to its limit it will be destroyed. If the damage does not reach the limit of that particular comp, then it goes back to full strength at the end of the round of combat, or at the end of that turn fo rother types.

All components that are not completely destroyed are then back to full strength.

Excellent, thank you.
