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.
When the shield generator is destroyed, the energy field dosen't dissipate instantly
Yes it is a bug and I've noticed it, but it dosen't really concern me much.
If they've only got standard shields, then they're usually technologically inferior.
If I've used shield penetrating weapons to destroy all their shield generators, the ship is not usually worth capturing anymore because of all the other damage the PPBs did

Again, has anyone else noticed this, and would it be possible to restrict the checking of names to only your own empire?
Absolutely not. If you look at an enemy ship, of design "CannoWhoopAss" is it your design or theirs?
Just add a code to the front (or end) of all your design names, such as "My ______"
