Re: phased shields?
 

Ionic dispersers, I believe.

The engine destroying weapons; they don't go through shields.

Ionic Dispersers. Research Propulsion 4 and then Engine Overloading Weapons.

Re: phased shields?
 

does it state that ID's dont go through shields but weapon destroyes (tach i think) do??

Re: phased shields?
 

IIRC, Security Station Only, Boarding Party Only, and Engines Only are the only 3 special comp-only damage types that do not skip shields. They do normal damage to the shields until the shields are down.

Re: phased shields?
 

i could have sworn in the manual it said that engine destroyers skip shields.... hmmmm

Re: phased shields?
 

this is from the html manual

Only Engines Will only damage engines. It also has the added benefit that shields and armor will not stop it.

Re: phased shields?
 

that has been changed in a later patch. engine killers now do not skip shield anymore.

That was changed in one of the Gold patches; v1.70 if you check History.txt.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">yep, that does work. The chant crystal from Devnull Mod uses that. Also that ability has been given to the Graviton Hellbore in some mods (which ones I cannot recall right now).
