Some advice.

[StarTrekMike]

I have a problem that I just can't seem to solve at all.

  Everytime I download a TMP connie, I seem to get major errors in both the damage modeling and they sometimes even get blown to bits with only one hit to the secondary hull (most of the time near the neck).

  Is there a model that is both good about damage and can survive a hit from another TMP era vessel?

  - I am aware of the Vox.nif thing...it seldom ever seems to work for me to delete them but I still always try.

 
   Thanks in advance.

Could you give one or more example mods where you have this problem?

Aside from that, you could try lowering the visible damage in the Graphics Options.
If this helps, what are the specifications of your computer?
