Default energy transmition lens and fighters.

I used to think ETL helps fighters with shields - add extra shield points to each fighter stack. Some people argued ETL add points to each fighter.
Others say it is nonsense and fighters do not benefit from ETL. So, what is true ?

I had a big battle in simult. game. It was in my system with ETL. Still, fighters died like snowflakes in Hell Unfortunately, it is very difficult to assess what is really going on in simult. games battle replay

Tried this on a few occations, and I am pretty sure ETLs don't work on fighters.

Wich is kinda logic BTW as Shields on units are not treated as Shields, but as Armor (just as added hitpoints)

But does it work on satllites ? Satellites have "normal" shields AFAIK. Any ideas ?

The component is normal, but the shield effect is still like any other unit.

No ! PPB go through satellite shields and shield depletors work against satellites.

I was very surprised to learn about this in a thread here some time ago (sorry, don't have a link on hand).
