Any Ideas?

Is this tactical or strategic combat? If tactical, check the total hit points for any unexpected funniness (funnyness?) and check each component for damage resistance (maybe you have typos with an extra zero or two on some component). Is your escort damaged, and how much?

IS IT FUNNYNESS OR FUNNINESS???

Stratigic,
I belive all I did was add wepons and armor and more sizes of storage.
I must have done something else.

No "Phased Shield Generation - 60000" as a hull ability?

You are almost right.
I just did a Simulation
My ships are knocking out every thing except the Supply Bays. Further. Once everything else is gone, they can't hit the ship. I ran 5 LCs with 4 Anti Matter Torps III each.
Once there was only a supply bay left, they could not hit the ship.

What should I be looking for in my components file?

If I am not mistaken it is Funniness. Although it looks... Well... Funny...
Dictionary.com says it's Funniness as well..

Look at the Tonnage Structure entry, for starters. It may have extra zeros.

One other thing. Did you do anything funny with Offense To-Hit Plus and Defense To-Hit Plus in your hull sizes (vehiclesizes.txt) and components? Maybe a component with a high negative to defense is being destroyed, leaving a very good defensive chance. Just guesses, since I can't see your files or savegame.

[edit: sticky stuff on the backspace key again]

I'm using Daves mod utility.
It is a Rage Escort with:
Bridge, Crew, Life, 6 Engines, 1 Cap Ship Missle I, 1 Supply I.
It has to be something I entered wrong. I can fix it by copying over the entire supplys storage area. Does anybody want to look and see what could give this supply bay,
100 Percent defence?

I'm willing to take a look. Post your components file. Or, zip your datafiles and a savegame, and I'll load it up to see if there's any weirdness.

Krsqk,
I'll do that. I want to try a few things first.
I'm going to put a "standard" components.txt in its place. I will then copy and paste each component group I changed 1 group at a time.
It is really strange.
Ships without the supply bay die. Ships with it, cannot be hit once all other components are gone.
