RB Installation Clarifications ("Can they be 'crippled?'")

I think because installations are a different unit type then not all of these points may apply because installations is not ships, they are installations and are different to ships.

I would also think that the logic that installations would attack during the Surface Attack Phase is because they are surface units not aerial or subsurface units.

I've never really thought about installations in such detail before and after reading this thread "my" interpretation/opinion of the type Installation would be that -
A) They can be damaged and destroyed as any other surface unit/ship.
B) They wouldn't be affected by cripple penalties.
C) The HSB can contest objectives but the ANB and FAS couldn't.

These may make the HSB more attractive for its points?

because W@S is an OP game and RB/WotC won't be releasing any clarification on the topic I think the only options we have are to use basic common sense or not allow their use in an tournament. When it comes to friendly games I agree with weedsrock2 that both players will have to agree on installations can and can't do.
