The Scimitar I downloaded, unlike every other ship in the game, has no visible hull damage.
I took my version of the scimitar from:

I have never had this problem before. I tried changing the damage resolution from 1 up to 10 (the same as every other ship in the game) but the result is the same.
Having a ship that doesn't show any visible damage is in my opinion very stupid and unacceptable.
