small explostions on ships: just eyecandy?

Manucubus · 11-25-07, 04:24 PM

when you shoot (for example) the cargo on the deck of merchants with your Flak, then you finally explode. Do these explostions actually damage the ship or is it just eyecandy?
This also happens with the deckgun, that sometimes some parts of the ship blow with when hit. Is this a sort of critical hit with extra damage or do these compartments just took enough damage to be completely destroyed - and this complete distruction is just modelled by a nice explosion?
Thanks for clearing it up
