^ I think two systems collide here. If you deal 29 damage to a ship with 30 hp, then it obviously is still battle-capable, however I think the PvE failsafe kicks in: if your ship goes from full to 1 hp in a single battle then all other attacks against it miss, since a ship can't be sunk unless it starts the battle with medium or heavy damage.
