Okay, so, with structural modules- specifically the cowl/belly/hull modules you can slap in… aside from the trivial gains to hull, are they basically just for attachment points/decoration?
could i protect things that can be targeted- the weapons, shields, engines, and grav drive- by placing ‘under’ hull components? or does that just not matter?
They’re just basically greebles. The only mechanical use is the extra attach points, or the cosmetics of having windows in in your habs.
