Nah (shield-skipping),
If Aaron keeps the random ship damage introduced in 1.91 it will be way too easy to just steam straight through a minefield as soon as you have a decent sized fleet (as you can with organic armored ships now). Of course you can ballance that with bigger warheads, but then again you might make the early stray fields too powerfull. I kinda like it as it is as it helps making armor (even the regular one) a viable alternative to shields.
