[Spaceships] Question about hull damage

This is how I run it. Generally, I only allow two systems to be destroyed in this manner. That is: if I do 51% HP damage, then one system is destroyed and the next takes that remaining 1% of damage (which is basically irrelevant: If you had 100 HP, you now have 49 HP and one destroyed system). If you deal 101% HP damage, then you have two destroyed systems and I would guess two big holes on your ship, one entry wound and one exit wound.

I'm interested in knowing if there is a canonical answer, though.
