the damage models on many ships are messed up but in most cases its the level of damage that can shut down engines rather than location of said damage.
some ships can have the entire engine room blown open and they cruise off at full speed.
you can also find a ship stop for repairs then after a few minutes start moving again if it isnt damaged any further but it doesnt happen very often.
bottom line is sh4 ship damage models are set up well but werent completely done for all ships and very poorly completed on others so damage results can be wildly different from one ship to the next so you can often see strange things that arent realistic and dont make sense.
