Thanks for the info on shields -vs- mines. However, I looked for ANYTHING on the design window and I just don't see it. Maybe I'm blind or stupid.

I just wish someone could/would explain how damage inflicted relates to damage resistance. One is referred to as doing "xx" amount of damage (at various ranges). And components are rated as having 'xx' Kt amount of damage resistance. So, how does points of damage relate to kilotons of damage resistance?
