Questions about Space Combat

[Zen Infidel]

In the action phase when determining damage, do you apply the effect to the damage against the ship, or only reduce each component on the Location Table by 1 point? I really wish they had given an example of play for this section.

Which "Action Phase"?

Look at the Order of Events on page 146, left column. Step 3. is the Combat Phase. Step 3b is when you declare actions such as Firing Weapons. Step 3c is for the defender to declare Reactions and Step 3d is for Resolving Actions, so I'd say that Step 3d is when you roll to see if Attacks are successful, due to Reactions from Step 3c can affect Firing, and also you roll Damage on Step 3d. At least that's how I plan on running it.
