You could always think of it as interfaced escape pods. I. e. As the captain sounds general quarters (battle quarters, etc. ) and battle lighting flicks on, all personnel other than direct damage control personnel would immediately head for their escape pods. Each escape pod would have wired in terminals for each person that is strapped in, and would be able to do their combat jobs from there. You would be able to immediately eject in the event of an "abandon ship" order. Internal sensors would be able to give basic damage reports on the fly, and for armor damage reports, simple radar density scanners placed on the internal parts of the armor would be able to tell you how thick the armor is, similar to what we use currently for geological surveys today. Given that the computers onboard would know how thick the armor should be and it's density, you could compare the scanner data to the given and, get armor damage reports "on the fly" as well.
Just my two cents, sorry if this was inappropriate, I don't mean to get in the way.
