Default Re: Shield frequencies

Ok, I think I understand something now. Every time a star trek ship gets fired on by something, even though shields are still up, the ship shakes, things blow up, and people get thrown around. With the shields being turned on/off based on a specific frequency, some of the energy from the weapon would get through, thus justifying the death of even more red shirts.
