Damage questions

I was doing some testing, and in the example, a star hits the ship with 881 unit hit. The summary of damages = 1465.5 (from a sum of all device damages). But the status command shows 881.0 as the damage. Any ideas why it works this way?

Command: tor 1 -0 -1

Star @17-29 0,-2 novas

Star @17-29 0,-2 makes 881.0 unit hit on
Vulcan displaced to 17-31, -100.0%

Star @16-29 -1,-2 novas

Command: dam

To answer my own question, it's the ship damage, "During battle, a ship collects hits from enemy installations and ships. If these accumulated hits ever reach 2500 units of damage or greater, the ship is destroyed. So the hit goes to the ship damage, and then devices get their damage.
