I'm not sure about shields but I do know that with my games, if I have Organic Armor III (I almost always play organic tech) and I run into a minefield, the game log always says:

Encounter minefield in Sector X,Y... It has damaged some ships" or something like that.

When I check the status of the ships, they are fine. Any other ships (or techs) that I play, I usually get some kind of damage in the larger minefields, but not with Organic Armor III. Is it invinceable?? or is it the regeneration properties?? or is it a bug?? IIRC, Organic Armor III has 150 damage resistance but only 30 Regeneration. Shouldn't SOMETHING be damaged after hitting a minefield with 50 mines w/ Warheads III???

I kinda' hope that it IS a bug and can be fixed / adjusted. I wouldn't want to think that Organic races are virtually immune to mines. I mean, its cool if you're organic, but that doesn't seem to fit good in game balance.
