Thanks Kana I believe you are right! Actually I wasn't thinking of shields I was thinking of tractors. They generate a drive field and are targeted like beams and no beam may interact with a target in atmosphere. I have no idea how I made the leap from tractors to engines in atmosphere... However, as you point out that doesn't apply in SE5 anyway.

Now to change focus a little. I made the comment below that I think it will be about a year before Aaron patches what I need to get the SFTC working. I was half joking but started to really think about it. What I thought of was; I might start working on a near canon version that will work with SE5. So I wanted a little input, should I bother to or just hold out? If I make a near canon version; lets call it NCSF Mod how much will that hurt the real deal?
