It makes no sense to me that something that big could have anything
particularly bad happen to it from something as insignificant as a
catapult stone, or a ballista bolt. Look at it this way: just about the
biggest thing that will normally take a crit hit from a ship's weapon is
100 tons. The minimum amount of damage that has to be caused for a crit
hit to happen is 1 hull point, which is 1% of the total hull points.
This is pretty much the extreme, usually a crit hit will occur when the
damage is a much higher percentage of the total hull points. It only
makes sense for a similar system to be in place for the Spelljammer.
Thus, in order to have a crit hit occur you should need to do about
15000 hull points of damage, but the critical hits should also be
proportionally damaging.
