Calling all modders- please help with collision damage model

I am asking for anyone's help regarding a way to change or mod the collision damage recieved while resting on the sea bed floor during high time compression. I am not concerned with hull integrity damage, but I am trying to prevent equipment damage during this high compression time. I have set the rebound number to zero, but it has no affect. I have had a little bit of success making some changes to the ocean currents and such as to how much the water moves the boot around, but the damage still occurs to equipment on high time compression, eventually destroying most equipment. I am afraid that the numbers I need to change are hard coded. Has anyone got any ideas as to what affects collision damage for equipment? And, has anyone figured out collisions.act file?
