SJ, you've skipped the reasoning in my post to make your own reasoning look better. The "None" mount cannot be used because of the disadvantage I described, unless you want the AI to have entire ships filled with reduced size components. We need a type of mount dedicated to shields only. If the "Damage" modifier could be made to apply to shield points instead of weapon damage when the type is a shield, I think it could be done without any other major changes to the format of the file.
