Internal damage and resistances?

[RPC]

This is actually a *really* good question and I thought it was necessary to ask it in another thread:

It would be quite hard to kill the boss if it have internal compartments, I think.

Also, does internal damages depend on damage types and resistances? Or if you fire 100 laser and 100 plasma, both will just do 100 damage to the compartments? If types and resistances are considered, from where are those informations taken? From current installed armor, or is it a property of the compartments?
