In a one-round-to-live fight this might not matter, but it could hurt your effectivness if your ships live more than one round.

Loser:

Yes, but with CA, your ships can be invincible if two conditions are met:
1) The enemy's weapons can not individually destroy an entire CA component in a single shot.
2) The total shields from damage of all your CA is 2x the damage per shot the enemy does.

All the damage done to the armor gets applied to the shields instead, added to the effect of the next shot. So if your shot drops the shields to 0 and does 30 damage to the armor, then the shields get 30 points charged. The next shot does whatever damage it has, plus 30 points from the previous partial damage value, which all applies to the shields first, with any extra going to damage the armor components. So with the conditions satisfied above, you can never harm the CA ships, unless you remove their shield generators, which is why Shield Disruptors are useful in that case.

Not me, those (P)rimitive Norwegian barbarians exterminated my Hive.
