The leaky shields may work for what I want but it doesn't seem quite what I want. If you are unfamiliar with SFB combat...here is a quick synopsis:

Each ship has shields. The shields have shield facings. Each representing an individual shield area that can be knocked down, and then shot through without hitting any shields. There are 6 facings (like a hex grid). So basically your number 1 shield facing (front) can be shot down to nothing, but the 5 other shields are still intact. So basically we say that a individual facing has 30 shield points. 6 of those will equal a total of 180 shield points. 30 points of damage reduces a single shield to zero. Leaving 150 shield points remaining, with one area vulnerable with no shields.

It seems that 'leaky shields' might work...but the degredation of the shields doesnt seem right...I'll have to look at it in simulation...but I hope this help explain what I'm looking for...
