Is There Any Way To Mod

[Evil_Duckie]

Would there be a way to randomize the amount of damage per hit to cater for critical/non-critical hits?

You could use leaky shields, and have damage 'leak through' the 'armor'...

That would be the leaky armor system right there.
Most hits are blocked by the armor, and occasionally a hit will hit internals instead, sometimes crippling the ship if it hits the bridge or the ECM, or some other important components.
