It is actually really annoying that it is possible to shoot through open doors but not through area triggers.
Espeacially if you have shields. If you shoot at them they become visible due to the shield effects.

to reproduce
1- place some area trigger blocks in front of a target wall
2- shot the wall
3- result :

Torch beams could keep the ability to hit them, this would make you able to check for booby traps during boarding. Anything else like pistols/rocket launchers/ship mounted weapons should pass through.
If weapons get changed to pass through them make sure that they do not apply to ship hp or armor hp so you don't end up with an invincible ship.
Spunkie has a point,
It would become impossible to overheat a ship exploiting these untargetable blocks in large quantities if they were to keep their System HP value.
EG, someone in a ship core can tank millions of damage and will be unkillable until someone blow-torches the player out of it.
Granted, the effect would be minimal, but it leaves it open to abuse by players being invincible outside a hostile factions HomeBase with next to no counter.
