I must admit that my experience with the GEG has never seen anything remotely like a 41-damage effect on the Light Cruiser. it feels much more like 33-35 to me (before fighter effects -- you divide that out as the Vorlon charged pulse will take some damage but gets the opportunity to harvest a plethora of riches in 1VP dead fighters). Remember there's a 50% chance I lose it when I hit 22 damage. And, of course, at minimum 33% of incoming standard fire ignores the GEG; 1/6 of it is bulkhead, and the 1/6 that are criticals pierce right through and ignore the system outright.

EDIT: That's probably a bad or inaccurate representation. A better one would be 20% of standard damaging fire -- bulkheads are bulkheads to everyone.

Does GEG take off "hits" or "damage"?

If a Fast Destroyer gets hit by 3 points of a "triple damage" weapon, do I drop the 3 "hits" or do I just stop 3 points of "damage" (i.e. still take 6 damage)?

GEGs stop damage. So you would take 6 points.

GEGs stop damage. So, a regular ship taking three hits by a weapon with triple damage normally would take 9 damage and 9 crew.

The Fast Destroyer (GEG3) taking three hits by a weapon with triple damage would take 6 damage and 6 crew.
