Im modding an orion so it says GTD Minnow on the side, and im adding a bridge subsystem. I noticed 3 "Split" subsystems. I'm guessing this is where the shockwaves start, or where the ship breaks apart. Am I even close? I'm eventually going to want to add more if they ARE for shockwaves, because my campaign sorta revolves around the minnow, because of its specialmission.

It has to do with the break-up I think.  I think that if there are none, the ship will explode instantly as opposed to slowly dying.  I don't think adding more will do anything though, as I've always thought that the engine picked the closest split to the last point of damage and uses that one.  No more than one can be used though.
who needs a signature? ;)

The Minnow wouldn't happen to be going on a three-hour tour, would it?
