EDIT: Huh, just read your post Gandalph. Are you saying that an 80 point shot would do twenty points to the shields, and that's it? Makes no sense, but it might explain things. What would be the use of that?

Sounds right to me based on IF's post too. At first I too though "what's the use of that" but I guess it would be used for a powerful weapon that just happens to suck at penetrating shields. I gather that essentialy with such a weapon the enemy would in effect have 4x normal shield strength.
