Say I'm flying Miranda with thermal detonators against Paratanni. I drop the bomb with extreme force skills, hitting all three ships. The question is - how much stress do they receive? I think there are two ways to approach it:

1. Stress is applies 1 by one from the thermal det, so Fenn gets a stress (and so do the rest from attani), then Asajj and manaroo get a second stress.
2. Stress is applied all at once. In this case, each ship would only get 1 stress.

Which is it?

Choose the order. The first hit gets stress and shares it, then the second and third pick up an extra stress.

Yup. Nothing is simultaneous.
