Maybe. If an attack destroys one armor component and damages another, you'll get double recharge. Damage in SE4 is done to one component after another in sequence, not spread across the ship, so usually you just get one armor recharge.

Not entirely correct. ALL CA components are used for recharge even though only one is hit.
Example: you have 3 CA III and get hit for 50 damage. Only one CA register damage but your shields get boosted by 45 (3x15) points.

Hmmm. I never knew that. I must revisit the crystalurgy trait.

Sorry, I KNOW you know this feature !

Yes, Arkcon, Crystallurgy is the most cryptic trait ever. Three years late and I still can't decide is it my favorite or not
