Is the hull type modifier applied to damage before or after it is reduced by armor?

Also, how does armor work against beam weapon attacks?

IIRC, hull bonuses are applied first, then armor.

For beam attacks, I would guess that hull bonus and armor is applied and the resulting amount subtracted from the beam's total (for the punch-through beams, the spire beams function differently and it is irrelevant).
