I hit him for 50, blocked by shield, then 50 more, 50 more then 50 more, all blocked by shield, and then finally I hit him for 50 more, and he takes 25 points of damage? Then from that point on in the battle his shield is useless?

That is essentially correct. Shield strength is reduced with every hit until it is gone. When you view the combat replay, you should see a shield hit, usually a colored ring around the ship. That means you ARE hitting him, but his shield is absorbing the damage.
