Re: Spaceship Hit Points"
I can't comment on Vorkosigan, but GURPS Spaceships in general adheres to the fairly-realistic "eggshells with hammers" view of spaceship combat - without superscience force fields and the like, spaceships of equal TL can very easily kill each other within only a few hits. The trick is not getting hit (using point defense against ballistic weapons, killing-the-other-guy-first against beam weapons).
