Basically it is a fairly good simplification for most things ans those things that are broken in it are easy to patch in as the basic system gives a result that is reasonable. The only patching I need to do in about every vehicle designed with it is the hull forms/volumes, the rest are more casy by case. (things like sensors and such)

Wait, what's broken about armor?
Since spaceships does not use volume calculations, it thus assumes same density for all ships. A ship mostly hydrogen fuel will be way larger than one that is mostly something dense(say tanks of cadmium) and yet they have same DR for the same armor mass.
