To give a different opinion on the shield/phased shield debate.

Phased shields are a enhanced technology that takes time to ramp up. IT may do more than it's technolgy that it replaces but it may take additinal time to ramp up


Computer moniters - we have crt and lcd screens (taking it ot basics).

We have overlap of the two technologies.

LCD starts out displaying less than a same era crt screen even though it has a smaller foot print. As LCD tech improves you get more colors and resolution to bring it up to or surpass the CRT maintaining the smaller footprint that it has.

Meanwhild LCD is more expensive than CRT for the same size.

My opinion is that the larger problem is in the way the ai and the upgrade process thinks that phased shields I are better then Shield V when in only a few case that is so.
