I still say that Aaron missed out on a good opportunity to add something special to the game other than glitz and glamour via 3d graphics. With neither the armor, shields, nor weapons on a directional basis, then what is the need for directional damage to components. Its not like you removing ability for the ship to fight from that side...all weapons arc, so there is no reason to destroy facing weapons, and I cant think of any other reason that directional damage, would have any effect. Sounds like useless code, that basically couldnt be finished. Without weapon, shield, armor arcs, there is absolutely no reason for directed damage...
I agree. Non-directional shields/armor is disappointing.
To be honest: I am glad there is no directional shield/armor. Of course it would be interesting if it worked like in starfury and the computer in strategic combat would move the ship optimally and you had some good computer aid in ship design. But if these two "and" are not fulfilled it could be quite tedious and frustrating.
Don't forget that probably 99% of all combats will be strategic.
On the other hand I agree that you could have left directional damage out completely.
