I was using Phased Polaron Beams against some ships earlier today and I noticed that after I had taken out all of their shield generators they still had 300/0 shields left, yet when I hit them once with a meson bLaster they went down to 0/0 and I was able to capture them. Obviously this is a bug and I was wondering if anyone else has noticed it, and if there is anything being done about it.
The other thing I noticed is that two empires can't have ships with the same name. This makes sense, but it's kind of annoying as another empire has the same design file as I do and they've already taken all of the cool names
Again, has anyone else noticed this, and would it be possible to restrict the checking of names to only your own empire?
