In a similar vein, here's a question I *should* know the answer too, but want to confirm since it may be important in a certain game: if one ship has three identical weapons that each cause 20 points of damage, and they all fir and hit an enemy ship with a shield that deflects 50 points, do 10 points get through, or are all shots deflected seperately?
...
Unmodded shields do not DEFLECT damage. Shields are reduced by damage. So a ship with 50 shield points hit by three 20-point blows would lose 50 shield points and take 10 points of damage to hit-first components (in the unmodded game, that means armor, or systems if the ship has no armor).
