If I remember right, some merchant ship models from SH5 have been converted to SH3. Their internal 3D damage model becomes visible when breaking into halves.

No; I'm actually 100% certain it's the spheres. I deleted all but two spheres on the hull object last night and her damage model was back to normal right away. I also looked at the default merchants and noticed that the game designers did not place spheres throughout the hulls of the stock ships. The NKLS hull, for instance, only has one or two of them amidships. Good to know I can get realistic damage effects in less time - placing all the spheres is tedious.
I do agree that some effects are over the top - lifeboats and ventilation ducts don't need to go off like Roman Candles. This is a simulator, not a Michael Bay movie.
