You make several good points, which I will respond to in greater depth later when I have time.

However, I wish to state right now that I do not believe the Korrina II can be taken down by a single hit to the wing. While the wings are thin, splitting them would have almost no effect except in-atmosphere, where large flying ships rarely go.

The problem is with ships like the Ouroboros, where its main sections are so thin -- the main sections, not extraneous things like wings -- that you can split it in half with one shot, depending on how high a velocity your slug has and thereby your penetration power.

To clarify, I do not want random fat ships or bricks. It's a cost-benefit analysis; do you want to sacrifice structural stability for manueverability and speed, or do you want more stability and armor at the cost of the aforementioned attributes?
