does a component need a size greater then 0 to be hit?

lol. i guess i got so used to creating off-topics...

so, if i give something a size of zero it'll: still be hit.

and i thought of this: if it's at zero health and the answer to the above is no, will the ship still be destroyed, or does that create an invulnerable ship?

Size is never used in any hit chances or damage calculations. Only structure is.

Also;
Internals with higher hitpoints are more likely to be hit than a random choice by hitpoints...

IE: one 100kt component and ten 10 kt components on the same ship. The 100kt component has a slightly better than 50% chance of getting hit by the first shot.

For Armor, pieces with fewer hitpoints have a relatively greater chance to be hit.

In the Star Trek Mod, Structural Integrity Fields have 0kt structure, but they also have the "hit before other components" attribute. They therefore do take damage.

ok, thanks. guess it was a little more than a yes or no question.

For clarification, that is not the reason they take damage, it's the fact that have a certain amount of kT structure. Even if they had the armor ability, a 0kT structure would still make the component invulnerable.

Don't you mean they have 0kT size, not 0kT structure?
