I alway add a shield generator because a little layer of shield is good against engine-destroyer. Usually, my warship cost more org than min, and consequently the cost of MC is not very important. In fact most of time I still do them in 2 ou 3 turn (depend if Dreadnought or Battleship)

Precisely. Ionic Dispersers were patched to not skip shields, but they do skip armor. This is a great weapon overall, but especially against organic players who don't use shields. It is pretty good against crystal players who just put 1 shield generator and lots of crystal armor too. If it gets through the crystal ship's shields, it won't be stopped by the CA nor activate the CA's shield regenerating ability.
Also, don't forget about boarding parties, which also skip armor but not shields.
