 Well, doesn't that pretty much render armor useless?  After all, lots of weapons do much more than 40 hit points (= 40 Kt of damage resistance).  That means one hit from a Polaron V (H mount) could wipe 3 of them in one shot.   
 
So, is armor worth it? one ship, one armor 3, point blank range, against an enemy ship with 2 or 3, level 5, heavy mount  Polaron beams, enemy fires first ... then no, it isn't. 
 
Change the above situation to make armor more useful.
