Ship Component Damage

Passed through an incursion while on my way to a station. Not a scratch the astromech couldn't handle until this:

[ Speed: 675 (45%) | Hull: 100% | Shield: 85% | Cap: 0% | Iota (49, 86) ]
Your proximity alerts blare a warning and the ship shudders around you as nabians #2 fires a
sizzling blast of hot light through the void at your vessel.
The attack bypasses our shields!
The ship's capacitor sputters and starts backfiring.

Hull Damage: 201
The damage tears through the hull and damages your capacitor system, bringing it to -20%.
[ Speed: 675 (45%) | Hull: 71% | Shield: 85% | Cap: 0% | Iota (49, 86) ]

Is that supposed to happen? What was it - a missile?
It completely destroyed the component in one shot. Even after installing a new capacitor it's still at 0% health. Is that a bug?

Edit: Forgot to add that the newly installed component is also offline, destroyed, backfiring, and can't be restarted or repaired.

    ...You know my capacitor did the same thing. Just kinda zero'd out without a chance to restart it. Since I don't use it anyways, I didn't bother trying to install a replacement...

    Yeah, something fishy going on there, we'll get it fixed up.

    We do need some way to eject from our ship or take a spacewalk. When your engine gets destroyed you can't go anywhere, and have no way to kill yourself or self destruct.

    21000 IEDs? This is my sad lha-ti face. :(.

    RESCUE SHIP, I think?

    A contained sphere of dark matter shoots out of ironcorsairs #4's cannons, colliding destructively
    with the nose of your vessel.

    Hull Damage: 450
    The damage tears through the hull and damages your engine system, bringing it to -32%.

    Same thing happened to me, except my corvette engine got one-shot so I had to abandon the ship.

    Doesn't work if you're on a ship, the response is something cheeky like 'Just fly!'

    I think capacitors have a really low health? I often find my other components are at 90-100%, but that one seems to blow itself up all the time and I never even use it!
