Re: Q - shielded fighters and anti-shield weapons
This is a bug. Units don't take partial damage. Units with shields convert thier shields into structure, the shields are not tracked seperatly. Therefore, effectivly they have shields right up to the point when they are destroyed. Since shield damaging weapons don't do any damage except to shields, they should never target units I think.
You know we could fix this by modding the small shield component so it doesn't actually generate shields, but just has the structure tonnage equivalent to the shield strength. With out the actuial shield ability the shield damaging wepons would nto target the fighters I believe.
