Sorry if this has already been posted somewhere...
Is it possible to add code into the engine to allow certain areas of a ship to take a certain % of total damage?
Like if you hit an armoured turret, it would do 30% total damage, a soft spot-120% damage... or something like that. Each hit would affect the hull at a different rate.
To designate the certain areas, I'm thinking of naming a certain part of a ship something... like you'd name the turret "turret01" in truespace.
If this was possible it would be a great addition to the engine, I think.
I realize this would only work on future modded ships unless someone edits every single FS ship...
