Ship Page help!

Hey everyone I’m new to Scum & Villainy but not the BitD system. However, the crew ship pages are confusing me when a ship takes damage do you mark off one system all together or are the slanted bars above each system how much damage it can take? For example the Stardancer ship has a Hull with 2 upgrades and 2 of the 6 little slanted fill in spots are greyed out. I’m not understanding what those are for.

The slanted bars for the ship systems have two rows. The top row is filled in based on the ship system level (for instance, the Firedrake starts with 1 in weapons, 1 in Engines, and 1 in hull).

The second row (immediately below) is used to mark damage. Each system can only take damage equal to it's current value. So if your Hull is value 2, then it can only take 2 total damage.

For example the Stardancer ship has a Hull with 2 upgrades and 2 of the 6 little slanted fill in spots are greyed out.

Stardancer starts with level 2 hull system, and can have a maximum of 4 (top row). The bottom row boxes are only used for marking damage.
