Thye feel the need to protect the armor generators, but not shields? How else could they keep the neutronium stable.
Who knows? Who cares?
Maybe it's more exotic than that?
What about everything else that doesn't hit the hull? Why put such a complex system in place when it doesn't block most of the impact?
what? It does block most of the impact, didn't you read the ICS?

And who says it must be complex?
This is the only time this was said, and that doesn't mean the armor wasn't penetrated. How was this conclusion achieved?
"<b>Physical impactor (asteroid, high-velocity ramming attack, hyper-velocity railgun, etc.)</b>:
Subjects the target to severe structural stresses, usually resulting in penetration. If it fails to penetrate, it pulverizes and/or vapourizes at the point of contact due to internal stresses and work-heating, thus producing a large cloud of high-temperature material at the target surface."
The communication cut off, too.
Well duh, internal explosions?
